Russia is used to fighting wars in winter and Ukraine is stick with Western equipment that doesn’t perform as well.

And, how many more Ukrainians lost their lives taking back an area of no strategic importance?

You are on the same side as Soros, Brandon, Gates, Schwab and the rest of the Great Reset psychos who want you dead. You deserve everything they have planned for you.

If the "same side" means being against murdering children, raping and torturing teenagers, and yanking the gold fillings out of the villagers mouths then I don't mind that. Most of us can oppose fools like Biden without joining up with evil tyrants.

Think about the agony suffered by the people who lost those crowns and fillings to Russian torturers.

Western inventories to re-supply Ukraine dry up

It seems to be a common misconception of Russians to think that the West has anywhere near the limitations that the Russian economy has.

The entire GDP of Russia is about the size of the GDP of California or Italy.

Perhaps the fleeing Russians in the Kherson area will be luckier than their comrades in Donetsk. The "retreating" Russians who were in the cars, and the bus, and the truck don't seem to have fared so well. They were gracious enough to leave some ammunition behind.

Russia has a bigger surplus to its treasury this year than it did last year despite the war.

It's us and NATO that don't have the manufacturing capabilities of the Russians.

Wow that is an amazing stat. Makes one appreciate even more the logistical side of WWII doesn’t it!

Rick Atkinson’s trilogy of books on the US Army in WW2 talks about this at length. For D-Day, logistical planning went down to how many typewriters they would need for typing up reports on day 1, and where they were packed in the ship to get them offloaded when they were needed. Americans are really good at organization.
