Zelenskyy is using cannon fodder against overwhelming Russian artillery, but to no avail. According to WaPo of all places Russians have 1:6 advantage in artillery (you can imagine their real advantage). 85% of Ukrainian soldiers are killed even without seeing an enemy. All escape routes from Bakhmut and Avdeevka are under Russian fire control. Zelenskyy again successfully created these slaughterhouses for Ukrainian troops. He is a real butcher for Ukrainian troops. Ukraine already lost most trained and motivated soldiers along with almost all hardware it had before the war plus hundreds of tanks and IFVs it got from Eastern Europe (to understand the scale of losses it had 1 990 tanks, 1 212 IFVs, 1 112 heavy artillery systems, 354 multiple rocket launchers). Its army is a shadow of its former self at the beginning of the war. Mass summary executions for attempted surrender or unauthorized retreat and catching even disabled people in the streets (Zelenskyy officially forced conscripts even disabled) just cause further demoralization and despair.

@zombiTrout “The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the army of the enemy” Helmuth von Moltke Sr. The war is all but lost by Ukraine and you still don't get it.

@Pikkabuu When you have to forced conscript disabled the war is lost.
