KRAMATORSK, Ukraine, Feb 21 (Reuters) - As the Ukraine war enters its third year, the infantry of 59th Brigade are confronting a bleak reality: they're running out of soldiers and ammunition to resist their Russian invaders. One platoon commander who goes by his call sign "Tygr" estimated that just 60-70% of the several thousand men in the brigade at the start of the conflict were still serving. The rest had been killed, wounded or signed off for reasons such as old age or illness.

I hope all the Zeepers that went over to the front lines in Ukraine are ok
NO we don’t need to send US troops that would be insane.
No - they're still here ruining the forum and hijacking threads.
Why has Ukraine been incapable in three years of ramping up domestic munitions capability? We are not talking about high tech munitions
bkmk
Option 1: negotiate an end to this globalist misadventure
Option 2: lose all of Ukraine

What? Two years of fighting and they, combined with retirement, wounded, and illness, have only lost 30-40% of a Brigade? That can’t be right. I would have expected far more turnover in two years.
You volunteer. Otherwise GFY.
How is Ukraine going to defend against one of the strongest biggest military in the world? They should stop putting their people thru a eat grinder and negotiate.
Biden and his DC woke-marxists have already committed troops as far as what can be done secretly - spec ops, "contractors," etc... Probably into the many hundreds or 1000+
they would not dare publicly commit any US troops to this before November. Maybe after a rigged election, we will see US ground forces committed.
What exactly does lose all of Ukraine mean?
Does the dirt disappear all the way to the molten center of the Earth?
Fundamental rule of Swamps throughout all history in all countries — The people who care the most about who is in charge, are the people who are in charge. Repeat that a few times to understand the horror of Swamps. They don’t care who dies to keep them in power, provided it is not their own families.
If (when) their military contacts their Russian counterparts and ends the war, killing off the MI6 and CIA types at headquarters, arranging for the lights to stay on and trains to keep running and taking over the government in an entirely non political, technocratic way . . . do you know who benefits? The people. They stop dying. They stop having their menfolk die.
And their standard of living will improve. It was one of the worst in the world pre 2022, with a constant exodus of people.
Maybe someone should have mentioned those words BEFORE the shooting started?
Maybe the MSM and the Biden Administration should have asked, "What is the plan if Putin refuses to stop fighting?"
Not true. Just ask UMC Baby Momma.
Ukraine outnumbered, outgunned, ground down by relentless Russia and the US House GOP
UKraine never had any shot at winning this war
Z is a moron and the west should be ashamed of themselves for convincing him otherwise.
If there was ever an avoidable war in my lifetime this idiotic proxy war in Ukrain is it
I don’t know, but it’s a good question.
I've got a better idea!
Why don't you head on over to take care of that little problem instead of sending our youngsters to die in some God-forsaken hell-hole?
After all, things are going so well here; who needs them in our own country? Right?
Ukraine needs their nuclear weapons returned to them.
