I have no idea how the fight can last months or even years. Russia has already lost 3 years of tank production in just over 2 months and these, along with other losses cannot be replaced. I see a complete rout coming in about 2 to three weeks. Ukraine has tons of reservist just waiting for weapons. Sometime in the next week or so they will probably able to add 3 entire regiments to the fight, amply supplied by NATO. END OF STORY.
And what a story it would be if American people were experiencing what Ukrainians and Russians are experiencing now. One day! It just cannot go on forever

Fog of war. Even after losing 1000s of vehicles Russia has huge reserves of fighting vehicles. Attacking Kyiv was a huge mistake. Their logistics are incapable of supplying a true offensive but close to border they can throw a lot of men and material at the Ukrainians. Don't be so optimistic, North Korea is a non-entity as nation economically but can't be taken without shooting at least millions of North Koreans dead even if nuclear weapons weren't on the table. Russia isn't NK, they are a giant country with a lot left in the tank. If they accept NK conditions they can fight for decades in a hopeless battle. Putin is betting on a few year of this pain tops, enough to finish Ukraine or make them give up an offensive in the Donbas to Crimea corridor. I hope you are right and Ukraine can attack and eventually take Crimea back.
@Mohammad... Russia is quite clearly winning albeit at a heavy cost. Ukraine is losing everything East of Dnaper River and no conventional military force on Earth can stop them.
Passing this on with a bit of rewriting. Lay me in a field of wheat and barley in the morning dew. Sunflowers grow in glory towards the sky that is so blue. With my last breath the hope my death was not in vain. Mother Earth embrace your children to the Glory of Ukraine!
The problem is, as long as Ukraine doesn‘t start gaining ground back, it doesn‘t matter how slow the Russians progress… eventually, they will get what they want! Ukraine needs to start retaking areas! And for that, they need weapons! Quickly and without long burocraric delayes!
the Russians are naturally going to make progress. but that is due to their concentrated troops and equipment. they will continue to take casualties and lose equipment as the Ukrainians defend and attack and fall back then defend. The Ukrainians had 8 years to prep that battlefield. every time they fall back they are not going far and they are not having to re-entrench. the entrenchment has already been done. each time they do so many Russians have died and much equipment has been destroyed and much ammo has been spent. eventually the Russians will not be able to advance and the flow will reverse.
Depends Russia had to leave the Kiev area because they could not supply their soldiers there with food and soldiers were fed up with everything. That could also happen in Donbas.
Let be realistic for once, please. The Russians will take what they came for and by the way the Ukrainian are getting slaughtered at the moment not the other way around
Said the soviet soyboy keyboard warrior, and then what happened, soviet army pushed back german warmachine. Ukraine will push back Russian clown machine.
We knew heavy losses would happen, losses we haven’t seen since WW2 in the Donbas region. It’s a huge battle, I’m glad Russia is taking more losses, which is crazy with the size of their army. Salvia Ukraine
Haaaahahahahahaahha, Russia will just blow them up. You speak as if Russia does not have heavy artillery of its own. Not only do they, but they have way more
@@Hueghjean Yeah, and I'm sure the Ukrainians are so much more civilized and better trained. Despite them having far lesser military experience than the Russians. I wonder why they lost at Mariupol, and are currently loosing in Donbas? Despite the endless supply of weapons and being " more skillful and better at coordinating between their drones and artillery"? Shouldn't they be winning?
Janet Madden They aren't should fight Russia with flowers and kindness love will conquer hate. Hate only fuels more hate. Gandhi there you have a good example.

@@oskat8981 True that my friend. Sadly, some people do not care for peace and kindness, and when those people attack, you're left with no choice but to fight back.
Every day Russia is in Ukraine, should equate to increasing penalties, three times the length of sanctions. More attacks are needed inside Russia. Enablers need to be held accountable. Europe needs to do better, starting months ago.
Your redundant comment is as empty and as hollow as the now overly misused and abused "our thoughts and prayer are with them". I wonder if you felt the same when Ukraine was pounding Seperatists areas in Donbas for 8 years straight and killing thousands? You ridiculous hypocrite.
Send dollars and ammo, there are special accounts set up for that purpose. And contact your representative about lend-lease for Ukraine. And for god;s sake take care of the voulounteers when they come back. They are doing grat work there.
There was alots of emotions then. In democracy there is a chance to vote away those leaders who did those things. And that happened. What do the russians have?
Putin is obviously willing to fight to the last drop of blood in his troops. However at some point probably around 75 to 100 thousand dead the Russian troops may become unwilling to bleed out to the last drop of blood. The atrocities and crimes co.mitted by the Russian troops indicate that this is not a particularly well disciplined army.

Russian space satellites see all the heavy armor equipment being off loaded in Western Ukraine
India snubs the West & pivot toward China & Russia. Would the US accept other countries putting missiles in Cuba,Venezuela or Mexico or anywhere near the US border? Has the US broken a NATO promise ‘not expand into Eastern Europe’, a deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification? The US has led NATO to engage in five rounds of eastward expansion over the last three decades. The US won’t start a war with Russia or China, but it hopes to maintain a certain degree of tension and chaos in the surrounding areas of Russia/China. Hasn’t it kept creating the "China threat theory" and "Russia threat theory" and at the same time, tries to pit other countries up against the so-called ‘enemy’ to force Russia and China to retreat from their core interests and rise? This is how absurd the US and G7 position are don't practise the democracy, human rights and free trade they preach.
In a statement today, Russian defense minister said "we are not behind schedule at all. We're just a little back-logged changing from winter tires to all-season. Our armored vehicles will run smoother, get better gas mileage, and have a much more comfortable ride. This will boost morale and help them to catch up with other troops, assuming there are still any out there by then?" he said.
If it goes for that long Ukraine will win. They have the backing of more than half of the world's GDP. Russian military production is struggling and the sanctions will only make things worse.
I am so glad that everybody, women, the old. young boys are being trained and armed. Russia must always fear the citizens of Ukraine, now and years if necessary in the future.
El mundo ya conoce el nazismo implantado por la OTAN en Ucrania. Todos vemos como Joe Biden utiliza a Ucrania contra Rusia mientras se lavan las manos y evaden su responsabilidad en este conflicto.
and then when those "civilians" die you will call on intl community to condemn Russia for killing civilians..... You in the west will fight to the last Ukrainian.
I like the fact that you advocate for more violence and deaths in the expense of Ukrainian lives. I for one would not want my grandmother and wife to have to learn how to fight. Young boys and men sure but old folks and women?
My heart breaks 💔 for the wives of men as brave as The 300 that took the fight to Xerxes and his massive army from everywhere. Their husbands deserve to be rescued by NATO. To let heroes like this die after all they have already done is sacrilege for NATO or any civilized people.
One thing that this situation has proven to me beyond any doubt is that it's incredibly easy to fool people. If I showed you a clip of the wives of SS officers in 1943, crying about their husbands being held prisoners by the USSR, you would also say that The Allies should rescue them, right?
All of history will know the birth pains of the modern Ukrainian nation distinct from the rest of it's history. This is a turning point for the entire world, where a massive page is turning and the world will never be the same, and as a matter of course for the better. God be with every Ukrainian, being them peace and rest, and God bless Zelinsky, the most vital, serious, and real national leader on earth today. Until the entire world can say it in one breath, keep saying it: SLAVA UKRAINE!!!
Loss of life in Ukraine is deplorable however nobody cried when millions killed in Iraq and Afghanistan like cannon fodder probably they are not human beings or considered as such.
God help them. Give them power. We are with you. Every day i cry watching these atrocities. I hope someday justice is done. I hope inocent people havent died in vain... Slava Ukraine. We love you. 💛💙
I am still crunching numbers, but it looks like no less than 36% of the total Russian combat power has been destroyed in Ukraine as of 4/30/22. Russians have lost 594 tanks, of which 308 are destroyed, 17 damaged, 49 abandoned, 220 captured... Confirmed photographically.

Too bad Pentagon officials never cried for all the millions of people killed by their crimes in the global South for decades now.
Maybe the image of the afghan family they bombed or the half a million people killed in Iraq. You know the ones that were defending the sovereignty of their country. You know Assange is still facing persecution by U.S for exposing their war crimes.

I have no idea how the fight can last months or even years. Russia has already lost 3 years of tank production in just over 2 months and these, along with other losses cannot be replaced. I see a complete rout coming in about 2 to three weeks. Ukraine has tons of reservist just waiting for weapons.

Fog of war. Even after losing 1000s of vehicles Russia has huge reserves of fighting vehicles. Attacking Kyiv was a huge mistake. Their logistics are incapable of supplying a true offensive but close to border they can throw a lot of men and material at the Ukrainians. Don't be so optimistic, North Korea is a non-entity as nation economically but can't be taken without shooting at least millions of North Koreans dead even if nuclear weapons weren't on the table. Russia isn't NK, they are a giant country with a lot left in the tank. If they accept NK conditions they can fight for decades in a hopeless battle. Putin is betting on a few year of this pain tops, enough to finish Ukraine or make them give up an offensive in the Donbas to Crimea corridor.
I hope you are right and Ukraine can attack and eventually take Crimea back.

No matter how one views this, its outcome will be at best horrific, and at worst apocalyptic.

I'm really sad about what's happening in FALASTINE, SYRIA, UKRAINE, AFGHANISTAN, NIGERIA, YEMAN ETC

The problem is, as long as Ukraine doesn‘t start gaining ground back, it doesn‘t matter how slow the Russians progress… eventually, they will get what they want!
Ukraine needs to start retaking areas! And for that, they need weapons! Quickly and without long burocraric delayes!
C.M. exactly
the Russians are naturally going to make progress. but that is due to their concentrated troops and equipment. they will continue to take casualties and lose equipment as the Ukrainians defend and attack and fall back then defend. The Ukrainians had 8 years to prep that battlefield. every time they fall back they are not going far and they are not having to re-entrench. the entrenchment has already been done. each time they do so many Russians have died and much equipment has been destroyed and much ammo has been spent. eventually the Russians will not be able to advance and the flow will reverse.
Depends Russia had to leave the Kiev area because they could not supply their soldiers there with food and soldiers were fed up with everything. That could also happen in Donbas.
Let be realistic for once, please. The Russians will take what they came for and by the way the Ukrainian are getting slaughtered at the moment not the other way around
Said the soviet soyboy keyboard warrior, and then what happened, soviet army pushed back german warmachine.
Ukraine will push back Russian clown machine.

Putin says that his objectives must be achieved by all means and at all costs.
But I think"Saying" is one thing, "Doing" is another.
Putin is obviously willing to fight to the last drop of blood in his troops.
However at some point probably around 75 to 100 thousand dead the Russian troops may become unwilling to bleed out to the last drop of blood.
The atrocities and crimes co.mitted by the Russian troops indicate that this is not a particularly well disciplined army.
