> can't actually dislodge them for months why would russia want to? the territory they took is absolutely worthless and has no fortifications. it's like shooting fish in a barrel. the way russia wins this war is by destroying the ukrainian army. what we know is that ukraine has already drafted more than a million soldiers. and they need 160k to reach 85% strength. three months ago, ukraine said russia had 520k soldiers in ukraine. with russian forces being significantly greater than ukraine's. assuming ukraine had 400k soldiers at the time, and that 160k would bring them to 85% strength. that means 100% strength is 660k soldiers. if ukraine only has 400k soldiers, and they started with 300k soldiers, and they drafted a million soldiers, that means ukraine has lost 900k soldiers. regardless, ukraine is going to lose, and you know they're going to lose. only a retard would think otherwise.
