The West needs to step up and increase support.

Now its clear that Ukraine is losing badly, and if we don't do a lot more to support them, it may be that Russia will breakthrough the lines and take a lot more territory.

[@luonggiaphat7946]

That option is long overdue. More Western support won’t help Ukraine. We need a strategic diplomatic solution. How about this, let Russia siege the land they already occupied, and then, when the war end, place NATO troops, weapons and admit it as a NATO member. That would keep the Russians happy with their gains, while the war will be stopped as a second invasion is impossible with Ukraine in NATO. Also, Trump is a guy who talks with actual threats behind his words, so I’m confident his negotiation with Russia after this would prevent war.

Russia literally spent 15-20% of its country (resources manpower reserve equipment economy oil reputation with citizens etc.) in this war and is still fighting. It will be a shame for it to finish war with draw or defeat but it is necessary to show that there are successes at the front. Therefore in order to lose less manpower they slowly level the front lines with artilery (including front-line cities and villages) to the ground and then enter deserted land and continue to move on. The ukrainians can do practically nothing about this except to retaliate and retreat.

Now we see, that in two years Russia made one mobilisation, while Ukraine already making third wave of mobilisation - which shows that russian losses had significantly decreased, while ukrainian losses significantly increased (which corresponds with the fact that Russia now produces just overwhelming amount of artillery, missiles, automatic bombs and battle drones, and barrages entire front with constant bombardments)

The funniest thing about these videos which are some comments about how Ukraine can win, while most other comments are going "Russia was always going to win, the people who thought they wouldn't are stupid" while looking at trench warfare where the only changes over the entire map has been a collective almost 2 square miles, and the only changes in the front lines since the stalemate began have been almost 1 - 2 square miles every couple of days. Seriously, this is a stalemate right now, Neither Russia nor Ukraine are winning. We are likely going to be stuck in this stalemate until one of the countries economies or spirit gives out. On that front, Ukraine is being supported heavily the western nations which is keeping their economy up, and their spirit is probably not going to go down unless this war goes on for another 2 years. As for Russia, it's economy is doing somewhat fine, They don't have much international support, the sanctions are definitely starting to hurt now, but time will only tell if their economy is going to see damage from all this, there spirit on the other hand has been quite mixed, but mostly high. Again though, Russia is much bigger, so lower numbers on both eco and spirit are more tolerable to them than Ukraine. Seriously though, the fact that this has been dragged into trench warfare, and that Ukraine not only won the first 2 phases of the war, but still has more territory liberated than lost shows both their good fighting spirit of Ukraine, and the pathetic state the Russian military was and still is in. Seeing how this trench war goes from here though will be interesting because it is now campaign season. Thus we are now in the propaganda phase where victories and defeats may only be a few square miles or even yards, but what's important is how each side is able to project these tiny victories into major ones on the global stage.

[@vuk5576]

2024 has seen only Russian advances, they have captured about 10 settlements, one of which is avdiivka. The war is slowly but surely going in Russian favor. It would take massive investments from the west to turn it around now. As for Ukrainian spirit, the number one concern of male population is how to leave the country as to not get drafted by force and sent to frontlines. I don't see Ukraine winning this unless they recieve massive and I mean massive ammounts of money at once.

You are too ignorant to hand out advice

[@ferepido3172]

Easy to say when you are not the one getting invaded. Also what will happen after? Will the Russian state's expansionism stop? I dont think so. And Ukraine is the biggest stop sign in front of them in the far east until poland.

[@brandonquezada9523]

The Ukrainian people are literally dying more than being born. They’re fighting for their own grave either way, it’s very sad

[@guard6069]

@@ferepido3172 Ukraine is obviously losing, further resistance will just delay the inevitable. If you care about your citizens, you would consider signing peace at any cost. And even if Russia somehow losses, that doesn't mean they will stop. They may as well return later for round 2 with renewed strength and having learned and gained a lot of experience from their conflict in Ukraine. If you were the leader of Ukraine, will you continue this nonsensical killing just because that's supposed to send a message? At what cost? Does the lives of thousands of families were sacrificed in vain? The war was stupid since the start. The best course of action is to simply swallow your pride and surrender and keep as much as you can while terms are still favourable. There's no justification to continue this conflict other than selfishness, ambition, and lack of human empathy. The fact that I'm not getting invaded doesn't mean i can't say this. I have the same right to say my opinion on this matter, regardless of the side and that doesn't affect the weigh of my opinion.

I am on a phase of starting thinking to support Ukraine. I mean Crimea shall belong to Russia and Donbas should held referendums to join Russia under UN supervision but other than that I have to say as a Libertarian a friend of freedom I can feel how Ukraine is feeling right now. So if you support Ukraine you have my respect.

That's a logic I can get behind. I support Russia because Ukraine is supported by the USA and the EU, but at least you are not the classic type of old Cold War anti-Russia type of pro-Ukraine.

Давайте поговорим о шансах каждой из сторон. Для победы в современной войне нужно несколько вещей: люди, промышленное производство, желание воевать. Пройдем по всем пунктам. 1) Население РФ, на 1 января 2021 года составила 146 млн. После начало конфликта безвозвратно уехало около 700т, в последствии от 25 до 50 процентов вернулось назад. Население Украины на 2021г 41 млн, число беженцев 6,5 млн по данным ООН ( из них больше всего в Россию 1,2 млн), на территориях контролируемых РФ сейчас проживает от 5 до 6,5 млн ( по разным источникам). По итогу на сегодняшний день на украинских территориях проживает менее 30 млн человек. Это оптимистичные прогнозы. Есть цифры и менее 20 млн. Но точных данных нет. Число наемников и добровольцев в конфликте совокупно не превышает 50 000. При общий численности сражающихся более 1млн, то есть иностранцев менее 5% 2) Военно промышленный комплекс и производство. В РФ со времен СССР сохранилась огромное влияния государства на ВПК, что позволят серьезно снижать стоимость боеприпасов, и продавливать развертывание дополнительных линий производства. Стоимость 152мм от 300-600 долларов при производстве. При покупке у Ирана до 1000. Украина. Впк до начала конфликта на порядок уступал российском. ( Перед началом войны доля РФ в мировой торговли оружием ок 20%, доля Украины 1-2%). На данный момент большая часть предприятий по производству подверглись атакам с воздуха, поэтому достоверно оценить их состояние сложно. Поставки оружия и боеприпасов из заграницы единственные поддерживают фронт на Украине. Но как известно военные заводы в западных странах полностью отданы в частные руки, в результате чего цена 155-миллиметровых снарядов НАТО возросла с 2 до 8 тысяч евро ( По словам председателя военного комитета НАТО, американского адмирала Роба Бауэра). Капитализм рулит! Итог. Сейчас Украина в день расходует не более 2 тыс. снарядов, тогда как Россия - около 10 тыс, следует из подсчетов британского Королевского института объединенных исследований (RUSI). 3) Желание воевать. РФ за 2 года войны была одна волна частичной мобилизации, подавляющие число бойцов добровольцы. Стоит так же участь. что конфликт не стал неожиданным, а планомерно назревал годами, учитывая это а так же действия пропаганды военная усталость растет с небольшой скоростью, поэтому от 50 до 60 процентов россиян готовы продолжать войну ( в зависимости от разных источников). Украина. На данной момент в Украине действуют жесткие ограничения для лиц призывного возраста, не давно был подписан указ об очередном ужесточении мобилизации. Например мужчинам призывного возраста запрещено покидать территорию Украины. На данный момент более 70% украинцев выражают поддержку проведению переговоров с Россией для дипломатического разрешения конфликта. Эти данные были получены из опроса, проведенного Киевским международным институтом социологии. В середине 2022 года таковых было 59% Общие итоги делайте сами. По моему личному мнению конфликт надо заканчивать, а самой Украине предать вне блоковой статус, наподобие Австрии, по поводу территорий наиболее верным решением стал бы референдум.
