Russian Armed Forces broke through Ukraine's last major defenses in West Bakhmut. The road linking Khromove to Chasiv War has been cut. 8,000 Ukrainians face encirclement inside the last quarters of the city. One reason behind this swift push is the "new" FAB-500 glide bombs that Russian fighter jets are dropping all over Bakhmut. With Ukraine's decreasing Air Defense capabilities, these airstrikes can become a real menace.

Even if any of this is true wish it is not, THEY STILL HAVE NOT TAKEN OVER KYIV, Russia is loosing ground and the spring offensive has not even started, they should call it quits.

The best way to ensure an offensive fails is to announce it.
1. If the offensive succeeds. What is their definition of success? That they take back a town or two for a month? That they push the Russian all the way out? That they push the Russians out and reclaim formerly lost territories?
Lets say the best case scenario succeeds. How many Ukrainian men will be left to occupy?
2. If the offense fails.
How many Ukrainian men will be left?

train go's both ways, don't believe the propaganda.

Sure they do, however, Russia has a larger population to draw from. Russia is not losing more men than Ukraine. Russia has demonstrated immense commitment historically in warfare.
Ukraine will run out of men first.
This math is simple.

If it was true, death ratio is 7 to 1 start counting.
18 million men in Ukraine who are adult or will become adult soon.
against 60 million Russian men, if they can keep up a kill ratio of 4 to 1 Russia is doomed.
Sources say it is about 7 to 1.
They are killing them at double the rate that they need to keep up.

First and foremost that is not even close to the k/d ratio. It's not even 1/1.
Speaking of trains going both ways. Propaganda goes both ways too. If you recieved all bad news that has been happening from your media, you would have dropped support a long time ago.
If Ukraine was maintaining a 7/1 K/D How is Russia still gaining ground with the original forces they started the war with while keeping back no less than 500'000 fresh untouched reserves?

Everything i say you have to say the exact opposite,
''fresh untouched reserves''... - fresh out of prison maybe
They lost ground did you not follow the war? they were fighting at Chernobyl they are pushed back over the entire line.
The moral is low on Russian side.
(Site Administrator)
the morale isn't low on either side
there might not be much to argue about soon, depending on whether NATO can make any serious ground in their hyped 'Spring Offensive'
the pressure is on them to make something happen but the weaponry balance has tipped into Russia's favour, seems like. The air defenses of NATO in Ukraine are getting quite thin so .... good luck?

We will see, it's not my luck anyway :) there could be some turn over when played right but i doubt it.
