Putin or no Putin, Ukraine has the upper hand. This conflict should only end in one way....the complete withdrawal of all Russian forces from Donbas and Crimea. Don't agree to a ceasefire for "talks". Don't make any concessions on how you run your own country in the future. And never, never, believe anything a Russian diplomat tells you implicitly.Putin coup is underway and 'impossible to stop,' says Ukraine's military intelligence chief
The process of overthrowing Russian President Vladimir Putin has started and can't be stopped, Ukraine's military intelligence chief told Sky News.www.yahoo.com
The sooner, the better.
It could end up as a pyrrhic victory for Ukraine. As this article points out Ukraine has still lost significant territory on the South and East. Does Ukraine have the combat power to retake it? I'm not an expert but it would be extremely costly for the Ukrainians as offensive operations cost much more in terms of supply and casualties then defense.Putin or no Putin, Ukraine has the upper hand.

Jayanti is an Eastern Europe energy policy expert. She served for ten years as a U.S. diplomat, including as the Energy Chief at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine (2018-2020), and as international energy counsel at the U.S. Department of Commerce (2020-2021). She is currently the Managing Director of Eney, a U.S.-Ukrainian decarbonization company.Yeah, that’s not a very good article. I know it’s from Time magazine or whatever, but it reads like it was written by a very young person.

Apple and oranges IMO. But, I get the David vs. Goliath storyline. Facts are as I see them that Ukraine has put up a great perhaps historic defense and the Russians have proven incapable of major operations. But, try as they might the Ukrainians still have conceded a significate portion of the East and South of the country. As the Time "opinion" article pointed out the Ukrainian economy is in ruin and a lot of their cities and infrastructure has been smashed. They have made strong stands but gains only when the Russian retreated or lack the impetus to sustain their gains.Great Britain didn't stand a chance against Germany either.
How so?Yeah, born 1982. Explains a lot.
How so?
Ukraine has chased Russia out of Kyiv, Cherniv, Sumy and now Kharkiv. I don't see the reason why they can't do the same in the east and south. Russia is coming to a point where it will have to either mobilize which will be politically unpopular or cease hostilities. On top of that, they're equipment losses are not so easily replaced, whereas Ukraine is being supplied by the West. Russia military industry was not on a wartime footing, and relied on imports especially from the West which are now under sanction, which has halted production. This could eventually be fixed by a combination of finding alternate suppliers and sanction evasion, but you're talking about a year long project minimum. Every tank they lose now cannot be replaced except through their stockpile, and its questionable how many of those can be brought back into service. Ukraine has destroyed nearly 1000 tanks and Russia has maybe 3000 in reserve. So at the current loss rate Russia will be out of tanks at the end of the year. In addition, they have to train new crews which takes timeIt could end up as a pyrrhic victory for Ukraine.
