Meanwhile the US is sending arms to Israel to bomb the lethally dangerous Palestinian children. And the EU is still debating whether Russia means it or not.
I think the EU knows full well that Putin means it.
I also think Putin has a huge amount of kompromat on EU leaders due to his vast intelligence machine and they are aware that he could leak any of one their dirty secrets any time he wants via proxies.
Secrets and political careers over filthy Ukrainian lives. Sounds about right for politicians👌

Last year around this time Russia was advancing every day by the 10s of meters. Now some advances are 1-2 km.
The Ukrainians announcing this means things are a lot more dire than what we’ve been led to believe.
Meanwhile, the Russian bought GOP continues to block and slow military aid to Ukraine.
Sorry ukraine. The republicans want you dead and the war has been going on too long to stay inside the attention span of the average person, so they don’t care anymore.
Ukraine. We still support you. I’m sorry.
Is the narrative finally shifting? If you said this two months ago everyone called you a tankie.

Russia is just producing more weapons this is not a manpower problem. And after using Ukraine as meat puppets to tank the Russian economy we are now abandoning them as we did with past allies such as the Kurds.

We can definitely produce large quantities. The problem is that we are giving Ukraine our old garbage to fight with. They are two years into the war and still haven’t received F16’s
If we were serious we would have given Ukraine some good stuff at the start and they would have won before Russia was able to ramp up their weapons production.

Sure but it certainly doesn’t take two years.
The point remains. Especially at the start of the invasion we just gave Ukraine old scraps. We did not give them what they needed to win, only to stall.

I remember from Churchill’s memories that he mentions as a rule of thumb (based on his experiences in both world wars) that a country needs something like 4 years to put the ammo industry up the conflict requirements… anyway, this isn’t (yet) ww2 by 2 orders of magnitude.

Nah, they tuned their tactics a lot, that’s why they went from losing every battle with a 10r:1g ratio to win them with a 3r:1g ratio.
You might want to see who they threw into WW2.
Hint: It was the Ukrainians. The ability for Ukrainians to survive is epic. Still, we need to support them to minimize their pain, we don’t want them to suffer WW2-like losses again or be forced to bear such burdens for Russia in the future.
If you said what? “What if we don’t support Ukraine?”
Why not just supporting them.instead, so this does not happen?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
In an update on the Telegram messaging app, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyy said that Moscow had “significantly” ramped up its assaults since President Vladimir Putin extended his nearly quarter-century rule in a preordained election last month that saw anti-war candidates barred from the ballot and independent voices silenced in a Kremlin-backed media blockade.
According to Syrskyy, Russian forces have been “actively attacking” Ukrainian positions in three areas of the eastern Donetsk region, near the cities of Lyman, Bakhmut and Pokrovsk, and beginning to launch tank assaults as drier, warmer spring weather has made it easier for heavy vehicles to move across previously muddy terrain.
Analysts from Ukraine’s non-governmental Deep State group, which tracks frontline developments, had reported on Russia’s takeover of Pervomaiske, some 45 kilometers (28 miles) southeast of Pokrovsk, in the early hours of Thursday.
With the war in Ukraine entering its third year and a vital U.S. aid package for Kyiv stuck in Congress, Russian troops are ramping up pressure on exhausted Ukrainian forces on the front line to prepare to grab more land this spring and summer.
In an update on X, formerly known as Twitter, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he had discussed the “massive” Russian air attacks on civilian energy infrastructure with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, and declared that Berlin will “stand unbreakably by Ukraine’s side.”
The volume and accuracy of recent attacks have alarmed the country’s defenders, who say Kremlin forces now have better intelligence and fresh tactics in their campaign to annihilate Ukraine’s electrical grid and bring its economy to a halt.
