There, things are getting worse for the Ukrainian army day by day.

The Ukraine wasted so many troops for impossible endeavors, to hold Bakhmut and in its the senseless 'counter-attack' against impregnable Russian lines, that it now lacks the troops to hold its defense lines.

AGAIN USE OF CAUTION using deficient source: https://www.moonofalabama.org

Generally, Moon of Alabama is a pro-Russian conspiracy website.

ALEXANDER MERCOURIS country CYPRUS. He is a disbarred attorney in London. THEN, became a PRO-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV NEWS OUTLETS AND WEBSITES.
*LOW CREDIBILITY with promotion of Russian propaganda, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources, plagiarism, and failed fact checks

Overall, Moon of Alabama Left is biased and questionable.
Their articles are based on promotion of pro-Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories, the use of poor sources, false claims, and a lack of transparency.

Moon of Alabama has become TOTALLY sympathetic toward Russia and the war in Ukraine while often citing misinformation.

Media credibility rater Newsguard has detailed an extensive list of false and misleading claims regarding Ukraine.

Kazan: "There, things are getting worse for the Ukrainian army day by day.
The Ukraine wasted so many troops for impossible endeavors,"

Here is the money quote from Kazan's link:

The key fact about this quote is that it's just Russian propaganda, word for word, first invented in mid-2023.
In 2022 even Russian sources reported it was Vlad the Invader himself who rejected peace agreements at a time when he still believed in a "three week war" of conquest over Ukraine.
Here is the link's Ukraine population chart, from which claims are made about Ukraine's alleged lack of manpower:

As I read the chart, it shows Ukrainian have about 8 million adults, men & women, between 20 and 40.
Reports I've seen say Ukraine's military forces total circa 1 million, which means there are still around 7 million of prime military ages in reserve.

Russian numbers are much higher, but estimates of Russian troops in or around Ukraine, iirc, are circa 300,000.

From ages 40 to 65 Ukraine has another circa 12 million who could fill secondary military roles, such as repairs, logistics and medical services.

Incoming generations will add around 300,000 per year of young men & women.
Estimates of Ukrainian military deaths are circa 100,000 over nearly two years, or roughly 50,000 per year, suggesting that at this rate Ukraine's population could sustain the war indefinitely.
