The Ukrainians are spent. No manpower; no training.
I ordinarily would not take this news item seriously except that Ukraine already privately admitted that last week they shot down their own airplane after having initially celebrated shooting down what they first thought was a Russian aircraft.

‼️Today, the Su-25 attack aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked its artillery near the village of Bereznigovatoe, Mykolaiv region.‼️
As a result of friendly fire, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost three D-30 guns and about 30 personnel killed and wounded. This is due to the low experience of the flight crew, since cadets of 4-5 courses of the Kharkiv National University of the Air Force of Ukraine are already sitting at the controls of the aircraft.
This is the seventh such incident in the last three days. Ukrainian pilots are afraid of Russian air defense systems and fly only to their positions.

“This is the seventh such incident in the last three days. Ukrainian pilots are afraid of Russian air defense systems and fly only to their positions.”
And they are VERY SMART to fear those air defenses. A few years ago our (US) fighters were in the Baltic flying close to Russian airspace. Russia lit up one of their air defense systems (probably an S-400), and the US planes IMMEDIATELY turned west and bolted over Sweden to safety...it wound up being an international incident since our planes didn’t first ask for transit permission of Sweden. But then can you blame them, as the pilots were scared Shiiteless?
