How is Ukraine losing ground by Russia? Russia doesn't even have 10% of its army or air force on the front line yet Ukrainian soldiers are still slowly getting pushed back with little effort. Why is Russia doing this? Are they using this for free land and to get experienced generals and soldiers?
Is the free land + military experience worth all of the sanctions? Once Ukraine is inevitably annexed and lukashenko dies of old age and Belarus is annexed, will Russia return as a super power? Will the Ukrainian people give in and accept themselves as a russian state? Will Russia continue to be sanctioned?

If they did, Ukraine would be annexed right now. Russia has millions of soldiers.

>How is Ukraine losing ground by Russia? We have a lot more artillery and missiles. >Russia doesn't even have 10% of its army or air force on the front line You mean we haven't sent out conscripts? Just as well, because they fire like ten shots during their year of training. As far as our functional army is concerned, I think more or less everything is there. >yet Ukrainian soldiers are still slowly getting pushed back with little effort. You call this little effort? The war has been going for four months, if you've forgotten. >Why is Russia doing this? Putin wants to leave a legacy. >Is the free land + military experience worth all of the sanctions? The land will be a drain on the economy for decades to come. The lessons of the war will be unlearnt in two or three years. >Once Ukraine is inevitably annexed Lol. >and Belarus is annexed, Lol. >will Russia return as a super power? Lol.

yes op is faggot but consider those >ukraine has 1 million service man vs 200k russians >unlimited funds given by USA and EU >massive material and equipment support from USA and EU >defending yet russians still made gains while ukies loses 1k-2k daily
>Why is Russia doing this? >Putin wants to leave a legacy. bro putin not that stupid and selfish as you russians think. eastern Ukraine has massive natural gas reserves if Ukraine control those reserves instead RU.eu would less dependent on russian gas then you would poorer and what you blame putin again.its also why USA cares so much about ukraine
Ayden Davis
>ukraine has 1 million service man vs 200k russians Not a very meaningful comparison. They're not all on the front line, because the Ukraine can't equip them. You might as well say 200k Russians are bravely fighting all 40 million Ukrainians. >massive material and equipment support from USA and EU The US promised how many pieces of artillery? Around 100? How many of them actually reached the front so far? According to Wikipedia, we have about 2000 active pieces and 5000 in reserve.

Encouraging to see at least some Russians have a grasp on reality. Assuming you're not a VPN nigger I suppose.

Russia is not going to occupy northwestern Ukraine, and if they try it will hurt them badly- because northwestern Ukraine is staunchly western and tied up with EU, U.S and NATO interests. The populace there will fervently fight to the last man and woman to break free from Russian oppression. After everything that's happened, there will be no friendly forgiveness like in the DNR and LNR or even in the rest of Novorussia. Those places will adapt, they already voted for Russian leaders in the past. They will be seen more as liberators, but once they get into the northwestern territory there will be a bloody insurgency that will most likely go on for years to come if they ever do militarily conquer the region. So what would be best is for them to stop at the true political territorial line and go no further than that, take their warm water port and the first order of business would be to build infrastructure so that they can use it and gain a new trading and military port for further action.
Taking on anyone else at this moment would be a massive mistake. They must completely focus on Ukraine if they want to achieve all of these objectives.

False, because it’s 130k and that’s slightly above 10%?

Russia has millions of foot soldiers. They do not have millions of soldiers who wish to go die in Ukraine for Russian globohomo which they already have at home.
Levi Gonzalez
