Ukraine is ‘going to lose’ the war against Russia

Curtin University's Dean of Global Futures Joe Siracusa says Ukraine is “going to lose” the war against Russia.
Ukraine's President has welcomed the US House of Representatives, approving $95 billion dollars in foreign aid to his country.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it ‘keeps history on the right track’.
However, Russia's foreign ministry claims Washington's deeper and deeper immersion in the hybrid war against Russia will turn into a humiliating fiasco for the US, like Vietnam and Afghanistan.
Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia that Ukraine was “never going to beat” Russia.

also, Polish minister promised to help Ukraine to locate and forcefully return young, capable of fighting Ukrainian men who fled to Poland. Totally a sign of "winning country". Economy is ruined, infrastructure in key regions is doomed, a lot of people fled (most of the refuges are in Russia) and already settled - 2 years is not a little time to assimilate, especially in the countries with familiar culture, language or relatives. They are not planning to come back since most of them got jobs, housing, someone got married, some had kids already. For a success, every country needs: resources, population, military. Ukraine has lost a lot of people either as KIA, or as MIA or simply those who fled. It doesn't matter how much money will be pumped into the country - without human resources it is useless.

[@craigh.9810]

The number 500,000 Ukrainian troops killed is incorrect. From the NYT. 500,000 is BOTH Ukrainian and Russian. “Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.”
