The shovels were Prighozin's gift to his convicts, who were sent forward to dig trenches withiout weapons to defend themselves.

You can't hide from the truth when you are in need.
Well yeah because we all know deep down that everything Ukraine says isn't true, it's just designed to keep morale up in Ukraine. But that has kind of worn off now... because they're not getting the volunteers anymore they might as well be honest and get the equipment in stead.

They arent gonna beat a nuclear power with a larger army. They need to negotiate. Its not right, but people need to come back to reality.
Yeah, they are, and negotiating would bring them tens of millions dead, rather than tens of thousands, just like the last go round.
The problem is that oligarchs are invested in this
Sure they can if they are resilient enough. It may even take 10 years of war but eventually russians would get the message. There are plenty of examples: Soviets in Afghanistan and the US in Vietnam and they had far less support than ukraine.
These wars are not even remotely comparable. The logic is completely different.
These wars are not even remotely comparable. The logistics are completely different. The US helped jihadists which later became the Taliban regularly during the soviet war and the Soviets were extended. Vietnam was supported by China, and there is no reason to think if Russia is in trouble, China will not help them. This war either potentially will lead to WW3 or another source of disaster. Anyway , if Ukraine remain in this wsr for a few more years, nothing will remain out of it. Not even enough manpower to rebuild it. Already population has almost become half.

Well, let wait those miracle billions. It's a game changer they say.
Enough to match the russian tens of trillions of rubles wasted in this imperialist adventure ^^.
@@lepetitroquet9410and then what??
@@armanicharles5336 Well, $60 bn for the USA is 0.2% of GDP. 15 trillion of rubles, that's 10% of the russian GDP. On a yearly basis, it's very clear that it's a minimal investment for one side and a huge one for the other.
Even more, Russia is still mostly relying on old soviet legacy stocks for tanks and artillery. At the current rate of attrition (so if the western powers like the US keep matching the russian expenditure), they should run out by the end of 2026, leaving them with only a few choices, among which spending way more to increase production at the start of 2025 to see result at the end of 2026, or losing the war of attrition.
Even if the war remained a stalemate for a few more years, it would quickly become unsustainable for Russia, handing the western powers and Ukraine a victory anyway. That is, if the ukrainian armed forces were to not achieve any major victory until then, like the capture of a city like Melitopol would be (tbh, Ukraine capturing Melitopol would probably be the beginning of the end of this war for Russia, as it would put a timer on the loss of Crimea for them).

They bit the dust
Mike Martin in March of 2022 said the Russian army was about to collapse and the Putin government would soon collapse. He is a it of a joke among analysts, though I'd call him more of fanboy then a serious military analyst.
We are from Ukraine. Let's be honest: Russia have strategic success, not just tactical. Unfortunately Ukraine with allies is doomed to failure, just because it is out of manpower
What would you want your leaders to do? Honest question
Youth is priceless, without them, the country will be no more....
I’m afraid of this
Strategically successful in the sense that Ukraine have now reached a point where they can't get willing volunteers, so they're making stricter laws and calling people back from Europe. At this rate Ukraine is destined for an eventual collapse...
What are you doing in Ukraine are you on the front line or in occupied territory?
Being from Ukraine gives you some deeper insights into geopolitics? I follow good number of sources from Ukraine and most would disagree with you.
So, you are from Ukraine - but are you Ukrainians?
Yes. It’s too late for Ukraine’s mobilization effort. Many of the military age people have fled the country. The ones who are left are the ones who couldn’t afford to leave.
Do you mean Russia 🇷🇺🤔????
Same for Russia. Too old or too rich do not participate.
Another clueless armchair general. "Too late" for WHAT exactly? There are more than two possible outcomes of the war, it's not simple at all, and there's no way Russia is just going to easily steamroll to total victory.

Diplomatically
Financially
Militarily
They were wrong...!
Compared to the the size of the entire Ukraine, or compared to the Kharkiv offensive, or even just to the size of the Donbas, yes, those are small advances.
And it's even more concerning for the russian side of things as those small advances are happening when they are at the peak of their power, holding as many advantages against their opponent as they ever will. The window of opportunity is closing, it's a matter of months...
Russia can't afford to achieve only such small advances. They would need a true breakthrough, take everything east of the Dniepr and threaten Kyiv directly. That might give them a chance to achieve their objectives in this war.
A couple of paddocks is not really an advance....
@@alex-fs5blthat's it, keep on fooling your selves, Ukraine is toast
This guy Martin is not some objective analyst. What is this silly nonsense about this new weapon package is what Ukraine needs. Just ridicoulous. Russia is winning this and the view that "the west" was going to help Ukraine win with "superior technology and tactics" is BS!!
Man power difference is the reason why Ukraine cannot win and should start negotiating if they don't want to lose more territory and men.

@@sheshatheblackqueen9279 So you make your calculations with women, children and old ones. Because martial law was instituted from day one of war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, in Russia almost anyone can leave the country.
Russias population is actually around 120 million since many fled Putin's tyranny. Russia cannot conscript millions to die in Ukraine, eventually you run out of people willing to go die in a foreign country. All Ukraine needs to do is make territorial gains while inflicting heavy casualties and he will eventually call it off. Momentum is everything in war. Russians will get tired of fighting for putin's ambitions in Europe
@@bestopinion9257 offcourse, Russia dont want martial law, Because , Russians are not leaving and no shortage . Also Russia is using foriegn fighters than accual Russians in some areas. Also 4 republics of east ukraine have seperate armies. Wagners are also in belarus now.

Sadly, WAYYYYYY too late. I'm by no means an expert, but even I could see insane complacency from the Ukrainian government with regards to mobilising and training more people. I get the economic argument (needing people to keep the economy afloat), but it sadly doesn't outweigh the need for more soldiers. They should have prepared a long time ago.

I think they broke the Ukrainian morale and will to fight at Avdiivka it seems. The war has been turned on its head in 1 year since the Wagner's siege of Bakhmut. Ukrainians just may have their bubbles burst with that Russian vicrory, sometimes a grand strategy is not needed to break the will of your opponent. A mere small victory but of strategic importance can do the trick across all the fronts
The problem with the aid package from the US is that it mostly pays for weapons to be produced, not from existing stockpiles so it will be months before the weapons actually reach Ukraine. It might be too late then.
