"NEVER SURRENDER!"
Russia is making all kinds of tactical mistakes. However, it seems that Russia's overall strategy of simply wearing down Ukraine is working though.
Here's another example of a pretty pro-ukraine European politician seemingly realizing the same.
Czech President: Developments do not indicate that the Ukrainian side will gain a military advantage (novinky.cz)
"Negotiations may begin next year, as developments do not indicate that the Ukrainian side will gain a military advantage. Time plays in favor of Russia, which has a strong mobilization base of manpower. Having won time, it will also be able to replenish its material base, which it has long lacked. We see massive shipments from North Korea, we see attempts to cir vent sanctions," the Czech president said at the Diplomacy and Security conference.
People are sort of glossing over how politically difficult it's going to be to actually get Ukraine into the EU and NATO.
Sweden is an almost perfect candidate by nearly every measure and yet look how drawn out this process has become for its NATO membership. Ukraine has totally unprecedented complications to its membership so it will be substantially harder.
So getting more green russian troops killed after most season troops were killed is winning? Ok
Are you related to DMC by any chance?
Um... is that what I said? I'm in agreement with what the Czech president said. What are your thoughts on what the Czech president said?

shipments from North Korea
Thanks for reminding us how poor Russia really is.
My point is that russia tactical strategy is to send human waves against well prepared Ukrainian defensive positions. That will win some battles but not the war.
Ukraine's strategic plans is to weaken russian militarily until they can apply force. So far, russia has been throwing its reserves at the Ukranian counter offensive and to draw Ukrainian forces away.
It has cost the russians dearly and they will not be able to sustain these loses of men and equipment.
Sure, putler can continue pushing his men to the front lines but he should expect more of the same losses. Time does not favor russia with that strategy.
As far as what the Czech president, he would continue fighting if it was Czech that putler was invading; right now with no dog in the fight, he is Monday morning quarterbacking.
I still see Ukraine in strong position able to continue attacking and pushing all the way to Crimea.
Correct, with poor russian artillery spotting and trained russian artillerymen, we can expect most of the NK to go to waste.
You're missing the forest for the trees.
This guy is a former general and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
Listen, the Ukrainians are not conducting mass wave attacks and are holding back troops/resources until the time/place is favorable to them.
The Czech president knows that so it is highly probable that his statements are meant for the russians and not the Ukrainians.
Think about that.
I think the Czech president (a former NATO general) does have a dog in the fight but he's just telling it like it is.
If Ukraine's own commander in chief says this is a stalemate, then what else will it take to convince you?
Hey, if you're right, you'll get your negotiated agreement that Putin will on all over again!
Be proud!
There's nothing to do but bow to Putin!
Actually, the commander in chief said it will take at least a year as a supply of advanced technology is needed to break the deadlock at the front. (My words: fighting with old tech sucks)
"Zaluzhnyi acknowledges that this new phase of support is unlikely to occur in the near future, so the stalemate on the front will remain in place. “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough,” Zaluzhnyi told The Economist, with characteristic irony.
The Ukrainian leader admits that he is under pressure to negotiate a ceasefire but has ruled it out because it would signify “leaving an open wound for future generations.”"
What else will it take to convince you?

Also, do not underestimate General Mud, as he still has a say in war.
That convinces me that the war is at a stalemate and probably won't change a whole lot.
I know some F-16s are coming (probably limited in number) and more air defense. I just don't see where the "massive technological leap" is coming from that decisively breaks through all of Russia's defense.
