Another Economist article had one big reveal: Ukraine’s problems, meanwhile, are worsening mainly because of manpower issues. The army is long out of willing recruits, and its mobilisation campaign is falling short, recruiting barely two-thirds of its target. A senior Ukrainian official says he is worried the situation may become irretrievable by the spring. An even bigger problem is the quality of the new recruits. “Forest”, a battalion commander with the 65th brigade, says the men being sent from army headquarters are now mostly too old or unmotivated to be useful. All but a handful are over the age of 45. “I’m being sent guys, 50 plus, with doctors’ notes telling me they are too ill to serve,” he says. “At times it feels like I’m managing a day-care centre rather than a combat unit.”
The problem in Ukraine is not really recruits as a whole. They have plenty of manpower. The problem is that almost none of that manpower wants to fight on the front lines and there is a whole system in Ukraine where men can bribe their way out frontline service. That is why Ukraine has so many men and so many units stationed west of the Dnipro or units full of men stationed in the capital. Since the war started, Ukraine has disproportionately depended on a very small set of poor men to do the real fighting. That is what they are running out of.
Problem with middle age to senior are: a) they need more sleep time to think clearly b) eyesight dims in afternoon glare and at night - may shoot wrong target c) just cannot take orders from commanders junior in age d) less agile - can walk but not run e) can drive but not shoot - good for rescue but not combat mission
Russia started with 200k troops and recruited 25k every month. if we ignore casualities, it would be 725k troops. According to western sources, Russian casualities 500k. But that would mean, that Russia doesn't have enough troops to cover the front, which is false because we see Russian numerical advantage
According to Ukraine’s infographic, Russians casualties are >700k. So there’re only 25k soldiers left across the contact line. Of which 50k is already in Kursk by the way.
the RAF has 1.5 million active personnel, and 2 million in reserve. for context to ww2, russia had 6.7 million military deaths before soviets captured the reichstag. total soviet deaths were 10.6 million with 16 million more civilian casualties.
@damtygucr_9270 It is called projection. Good way to get Ukiraine to admit their losses. Well the aide you have been granted should be sufficient. Then when they say no but we need more. OK why you are doing so well?
3 1/2 months since Ukraine's incursion into kursk and I am still left wondering what it accomplished or what the goal even was, all it did was speed up Russia's capturing of south Donetsk lol, might be the biggest military disaster I've seen ever
Mainly after the Crimea debacle in 2023 they realized most of nato was beginning to doubt ukiraine could withstand Russia. The elites in Ukiraine needed to show success. Kursk looked like a easier target an not as fortified as Crimea and Donetsk. On paper it looked more doable. Of course realities Trump on paper ideas.
Russians first run away from Kiev and Zhitomir later from Czernihiv one month later from Sumy one month ůater From Kharkiv 2 months later from Kupiansk and another 2 months later from Kherson And this is not bigest military blunder in last 70 years?!

Ingredients (Serves 4) For the sauce: 1 cup soy sauce 1 cup mirin (sweet rice wine) 1/2 cup sake (or substitute with water or chicken broth) 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup dashi stock (or substitute with chicken or vegetable stock) Main ingredients: 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works well) 1 block (about 7 oz) firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 medium onion, sliced into rings 1 bunch green onions (scallions), cut into 2-inch pieces 1/2 head napa cabbage, roughly chopped 1-2 cups mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, or button mushrooms), trimmed 1 carrot, thinly sliced into rounds 1 pack shirataki noodles (or glass noodles), drained and rinsed 1 tbsp vegetable oil Optional for serving: 4 eggs, lightly beaten (for dipping) Steamed white rice Instructions Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and dashi stock. Heat gently and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside. Prep the ingredients: Arrange the beef, tofu, vegetables, and noodles on a large platter for easy access during cooking. Heat the skillet: Heat a large, shallow skillet or sukiyaki pan over medium heat. Add vegetable oil and sauté the sliced onion until slightly tender. Cook the beef: Push the onions to one side of the pan. Add a few slices of beef and sear quickly, flipping to cook both sides. Pour in a little of the prepared sauce to flavor the beef as it cooks. Transfer the beef to a plate (to avoid overcooking) and repeat with the remaining slices. Add vegetables and tofu: Arrange napa cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, carrot slices, and noodles in separate sections around the pan. Pour in enough sauce to partially submerge the ingredients. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Return beef to the pan: Place the cooked beef back into the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Allow everything to warm through. Serve and enjoy: Transfer portions of beef, vegetables, tofu, and noodles to individual bowls. If desired, serve with a small dish of beaten raw egg for dipping. Pair with steamed rice for a complete meal. Tips: Sukiyaki is often cooked at the table with a portable burner for a fun, interactive dining experience. Adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to taste by varying the sugar or soy sauce. Enjoy your delicious homemade beef sukiyaki!
💡WOW, Just imagine how meaningless and unimportant these poor soldiers lives are that are being sent to fight an unwinnable fight😩 I just don't get how they don't understand that they only mean something to their families that they are leaving behind and absolutely nothing to the Flea, because as soon as the heat gets close to him he's going to jump ship 100% WATCH!😔
To the people in charge soldiers are just numbers, and tbh I don't think it's a meaningless war just because it's a guaranteed loss, there's no way Ukraine would let their richest land get taken without a fight.
The people of ukraine are fighting for the usa and its interests. These interests are to weaken Russia and to colonize its resources. In addition, the usa wants ukraine to be the breadbasket of Europe and to control ukraine's, land, gas, and mineral resources. When all the people in ukraine are dead and living in Europe as refugees, then the American multinational companies will take over ukraine completely. This us why they say they will support ukraine for as long as it takes, even to the last ukrainian.
@random-y4n5d It's meaningless because the Flea is the one that started it sadly😔 All he had to do was stay neutral and NOT be attacking those civilians like he was doing, thus causing a very valid response from P. So all in all he started it in which was the plan from the beginning in 2014, but things didn't go and is not gonna go the way that they thought it would and the only real losers are those poor guys and their families. Do you think that Mexico would be dumb enough to fall for attacking the US because someone is in their ear telling that they can beat the US with their help😩 That's a BIG NOPE because everyone knows it's impossible, so the same goes for the Flea that was implanted there in 2014😵
