Washington is "learning lessons" from the conflict about ammunition needs in a great power war, which are "far greater" than expected, a US military official says.
This is precisely why Russia is not reacting to western provocations. The “gains” Ukraine is currently making do not have any substance to them. Ukraine isn’t defeating Russian army on the battlefield and they’re capturing empty villages that have no strategic value. In doing so, Ukrainian army continues to spread itself increasingly thinner on the line of contact.
Meanwhile, Russia is preparing a force of 300k reservists, along with another 70k volunteers, and another 70k fighters from Chechnya. This is a massive force that is about to be deployed in the coming months against thinned out and underequipped Ukrainians.
Also, I remember reading, the farther East the Ukranian army advances, the longer the distance grows, therefore resupply becomes more difficult, whereas on the opposite side the contrary is correct, ressuply becomes easier for Russia.
Right, supplies become more difficult on a wider front. Also, we’re into rain season now where a lot of terrain becomes muddy and impassable. Especially so by western vehicles that Ukraine now relies on. It’s entirely possible that Russia is intentionally drawing Ukrainians in, then once they have their forces ready, and ground hardens, they will start a counterattack.

🤞Fingers crossed, maybe by new year’s eve we can all be toasting the collapse of the Empire. Cheers. 🍾🥂
