The Uke Army was 700,000 strong in 2022. Z says he must have 500,000 from mobilization. Do the math.
It's a war of attrition just like WWI.
And Russia has had to conscript and mobilize hundreds of thousands not to mention the numbers they have “ recruited “ from abroad. Additionally they still need more, yet the much needed mobilization of hundreds of thousands more has not happened even after putins “election”.
For a country that many here tout as having plenty of meat er ah men, I find that fascinating.
Is the manpower issue really limited to Ukraine?
If the weapons start showing up for Ukraine after 6+ months of limited resources, what will that do to Russias anemic gains, and prospects for success.
I find talk of taking Kiev and Odessa equally fascinating
