      It indeed is. According to minusrus site Russia had ~5700 artillery units when war started and I highly doubt that they can manufacture new ones faster than they’re losing units, not to even mention ammunition shortage and logistics issues.

      They’re not completely depleted yet, and most likely never will be as new units are pushed out every day, but advances at Crimea (among others) suggests that their capabilities are dropping, so once mine fields and fortifications on the lines fall there might not be that much in the way before Ukraine reaches 1991 borders.

      It’s still going to take time and monumental amounts of effort, equipment and (unfortunately) Ukrainian lifes before Russia is forced out of their country, but I strongly believe that it will happen. The west, and Europe spesifically, just need to keep up with demands from the field. Letting Ukraine fall would be catastrophic for stability in whole Europe and even globally.

    That is as long as Ukraine gets supplied with weapons, ammo to finish the job. Right now the political environment in the West is tipping to russia’s favor.

        I’m as much of a russ-bot as any Ukrainian fighting for their country. Just because someone shows a bit of skepticism and concern, doesn’t mean they’re against it. I’ve donated plenty of my own money and did a fundraiser to support Ukraine in the past, and will continue to support Ukraine till the very end until russofashists are pushed back to their backwards Asian country borders.
