According to a media report by Welt, current intelligence reports warn of “larger” territorial losses due to Russian superiority by the end of the year. The assessment states that the “overall picture” for Ukraine is “darkening” due to Russian dominance.
MP Ralf Stegner, a committee member, said the intelligence assessment is “essentially accurate” and aligns “with what I know.” The report expects Ukraine will not “regain the initiative” in 2024 and will likely suffer “significantly larger territorial losses” than since January.
It cites Russia’s “significantly” stronger artillery deployment and ability to “more than compensate” for losses, while Kyiv cannot recruit enough new soldiers to “offset losses and form reserves.” New mobilization rules will only take effect “late summer” due to training requirements.
The anticipated losses stem from Ukraine’s “defensive posture and associated delaying actions” as it seeks to “conserve personnel” and buy “time through ceding territory” to rebuild its military-industrial complex. However, Russian air strikes could become “problematic” for this effort.
Stegner disagreed with “hardliners” claiming more weapons are needed to prevent defeat, saying last year’s failed offensive showed “you can and must prevent Ukraine from losing, but not achieve victory.” Constantly demanding faster or greater weapons deliveries is chasing “illusions,” he argued, likening it to “increasing the dose when the medicine doesn’t work” being “unconvincing.”

Kazan has been on FR as one of the best and correct members for many years. The Rino Zeepers are the only ones to ever literally join the DNC in attacking him.
Only imbecile doesn't grasp that Ukraine can only lose ground if it continues to fight. The Russians have superior firepower and manpower.
Not that give a damn about Ukraine. You don't. You only either care about killing Russians or laundering money through Ukraine to whatever source that making you money off this war.
Biden is absolutely responsible for this failed proxy war. Yet, you insist on dragging Republicans and conservatives down with him.
I resent being called a RINO, if that was your intent. I am a proud, patriotic NEOCON.
Who is Kazan anyway? Why did he pick a Russian city on the Volga for his “handle”? Why are his posts always in slavish lockstep with the Russian media? (I won’t say propaganda, that’s a given.)
“Now even Western intelligence is admitting what the moronic Zeepers here refuse to — that by continuing this war Ukraine can only lose more territory and lives.”
The anti American Ukraine and Ukrainian Partisan Zealots everywhere have now as a PRINCIPAL goal to drag the USA into this war directly.
Otherwise everyone in Ukrainian government and intel will be executed.
All of that is bupkiss when the Ruskies keep taking town after town.
Here’s the latest news.

” I am a proud, patriotic NEOCON.”
Har har har. Hardly a way to make friends here. You’re another foreign warmonger pushing for us to fight Russia.
...and these intelligence agencies spent how much taxpayer money on figuring this out?
“ Who is Kazan anyway?”
A guy who can tell time.
In Cyrillic, too, which I admit I can't.

Better radar than the one they promote to the peasants.
I'm not threatened, these things always peter out before they reach eastern Ohio, but it's a wake-up for folks farther west.
Butt hurt is ye?
Western intelligence. An oxymoron.
