    Ukraine definitely has political stability and morale as good advantages. They’re also continually getting additional military support as time goes on.

        True, Russia has run out of prisoners, Wagner is gone, Chechens are disengaging, Belarus is s clear “no”, and the rest of the population is unwilling and getting restless.

        The Kremlin is too scared to even call it a war, let alone try widespread mobilization. They saw how Prigozhin waltz into Rostov-On-Don and act like a celebrity.

            We constantly hear that Russia has personnel issues, but I have yet to see any actual evidence of that being the case. Seems like Russian army grew significantly over the past year with the call up of reservists and a whole bunch of volunteers signing up on contract. Russia has a far bigger population and could call up a huge number of people if they needed to.

              Evidence what is embedded Russian “journalists” report, e.g. there is no rotation of troops at the frontline for example.

                Even if that was the case it’s the same for Ukraine who have less troops suffering from poor training and equipment shortages while forced to attack well defended positions.
