At the outset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, most experts expected that Kyiv would fall quickly. Ukrainian forces were fighting against a military that was bigger and better armed. Russia’s troops had more combat experience and funding. The question was not if Moscow’s forces would depose the Ukrainian government but when regime change would happen.
Of course, Kyiv didn’t fall. Instead, the Ukrainian military stopped Russia’s assault on the capital and forced a retreat. Russia downsized its initial mission from wholesale conquest, and the war now mostly consists of grinding offensives and counteroffensives in Ukraine’s east and south. The question is no longer how long Kyiv can hold out. It is whether the Ukrainian government can reclaim occupied land.
There are several reasons for Ukraine’s surprising success. The Russian military’s logistical incompetence, its puzzling inability to secure early air superiority, and low troop morale all played a part. So did Western support for Ukraine and the sheer tenacity of the country’s soldiers. But these explanations do not tell the full story. The Ukrainian military deserves recognition not just for its troops’ motivation but also for its technical savvy. It has used cutting-edge technologies and adapted existing capabilities in creative new ways, on and off the kinetic battlefield. It has deployed loitering munitions—missiles with the ability to stay on station until an operator locates a target—and modified commercial drones that can destroy Russian troops and equipment on the cheap. It has tapped commercial satellite data to track Russian troop movements in near real time. And Kyiv has wisely used artificial intelligence, in conjunction with this satellite imagery, to create software that helps artillery locate, aim, and destroy targets in the most efficient and lethal manner possible.

The Russians sacrificed a good chunk of their maneuver capabilities in the attacks on Kiev and Karkov. They have major problems with logistics, training/troop quality, and equipment. They aren’t getting near Odessa in the near future, if ever.
That's crap. Because if it were true, NATO airpower would have absolutely wrecked the Russian advance long before this.
When you are not fighting NATO ground forces, NATO air forces, or NATO naval forces, you are not fighting NATO. The most that can be said that the Russians are fighting some NATO equipment, and NATO-supplied intelligence.
Yes, Russia is crap.
BUT, having said that. The truth is, no army can win a war under the current rules of war.
This was done on purpose in my opinion so that WW2 really would be the war to end all wars that WW1 was supposed to be.
remaking war
Into the most expensive per month in history
Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, is only 25 miles from the Russian border, and about 170 from the Dnieper. But the Russians still aren't anywhere close to taking it.
So good luck with your prediction!

Soros has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. That’s crazy.
Not happy with the Ukrainians? What are they supposed to do, surrender?
You seem to love that fag porno. Did you star in it ?
Slowing and stopping the Russian advance is step one, finding weak points in the line and counterattacking is step two, beyond that we will see what happens.
In May 1942 the Allies were retreating and suffering horrific losses, by December 1942, the situation was different.
King of the Globalist Puppetmasters.
They still exist=winning, nothing else matters
And by the end of the next month, when Ukraine still hold Odessa, Kharkive, and Melitopol, your fantasy world will come to an end.
Meant Mykolev not melitipol
While there may be some truth to this, Foreign Affairs is an official organ of the MIC Deep State.
Convince me otherwise.
And all the other sides involved (and there are several) don’t have the average American’s best interests at heart, either.
