They are fighting for their homes and a lot of women are joining in the fight specially in noncombatant roles but also in combatant because I saw a female sniper and one that operated an anti tank missile system.

"Russia's military casualties are approaching 300,000, including as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injuries, the newspaper reported."

Did anyone else notice that more Russians were killed to those injured 120,000 to 180,000 than Ukrainian killed to injured 70,000 to 120,000? Meaning if you are a Russian and get shot you are more likely to die than if you are a Ukrainian that gets shot. Russia doesn't care about its soldiers. Putin has been taking his conscripts from outside of Moscow which is Putin's power base. Remember Putin has had a coupe attempt Zelensky hasn't.

Yep, despite Zelenskyh's year old travel ban on men 18-60, they are already having to resort to putting females on the frontline.

Russia has emptied the prisons and is putting convicted felons on the front line, without, equipment, ammunition and rifles.

Why not they make excellent snipers and medics and the one I saw blow up two tanks. And I'm sure they can fill most roles and Ukraine is their home also. They can and have killed Russian solders just as dead as Ukrainian men have. Ukraine has more solders in the field than Russia has.
 
Putin just lost his most effective fighting group the Wagner group. Russia fights with outdated WWII tactics Ukrainian uses modern NATO tactics. They are killing more Russians than are Russians killing Ukrainians. After Ukraine's pilots train on the F16s they will eventually have air superiority and Russia will lose even more soldiers. This is going to get worse for Russia not better. They can only hope the US loses interest. Congress still seems to be behind Ukraine.

True.

But I think you get my point that you can replace ammo and weapons. But Ukrainian soldiers can not be replaced as easily, are in limited supply and dwindling. Russia just keeps sending more troops to replace their casualties. Ukraine is already, all in.

That is what we are being told. Fog of war and all that. We'll wait and see, my friend.

Do you think Putin is going to surrender Crimean Ukraine?

Naw there will always be a fresh crop of new recruits as long as sex is still fun. And by using women Ukraine basically doubles the size of population they can recruit from. And remember Ukraine is defending its home. Russians don't have an incentive to fight. Also the Russian army sucks because of the way it is organized . Putin does not want any one general to become too powerful (look what happened with Prigozhin. The way the Russian army is organized the Generals are in competition with each other because they get the spoils so they don't operate well with each other. Plus you have Putin calling most of the shots and we saw how well that worked for Hitler. Putin is no military tactician.

I certainly don't think Ukraine is going to surrender the Crimea to Russia. Crimea will be harder for Russia to defend when the land bridge and the straights bridge are both cut and they will probably be after Ukraine gets F16 I suspect they will be game changers. After Russia brutalized the Ukraine civilian population I don't think Russia will be ever to keep Ukraine.

There are many Ukrainians that prefer Russia in the "disputed areas". There were attempts at secession going back to 2005-6 when the pres. election was declared fraudulent.

The Artic Oil shipping route is temporarily open now. But Russia has been using at Sea ship to ship oil transfers to get their crude to China and other markets.

Disrupting that shipping could collapse Russia's economy. That might be a better target. If Putin retreats from Crimea, he will leave it in rubble.

Possibly true. But after Ukraine/Russians have seen Russia's behavior they may not pine for the mother land as much. I could see a war settlement that guaranteed Russia right to continue using the Baltic shipping routes unmolested.

In his defense OUR TOP GENERALS thought the same thing and if you were honest you did too. Your god Joke Bribehim offered Zelensky a flight out of town instead of weapons. Doesn't sound like he didn't think Russia would crush Ukraine does it?
