It's taken Russia 3 months to get to this point. They have lost at least 15 thousand troops KIA with about 30 thousand wounded. If this war goes on for another 3 months and Russia loses the same number of troops we have about 90 thousand casualties. That means Russian has lost this war. Ukrainian casualties will be much lower because they are defending. Russia needs to keep on attacking, they need 3 to 1 superiority in troops to overcome Ukrainian defenders, they just don't have the troops to conquer and hold the captured territory. All Ukraine has to do is hold the Russians back as long as possible and cede the small amounts of territory Russia is taking. This will give Ukraine the time to mobilize up to 1 million reservists that are being trained as we speak and those troops will be armed with NATO standard weapons. When NATO supplies start arriving in serious amounts Ukraine can go on the offensive. They are already doing exceptionally well with the limited amounts they have now, how much more effective will they be in a few months from now when they are fully equipped?

@kroneliusvalungameka5116 Everything i said in my comment is fact and serious. I was being conservative about Russia's loses they may be up to 30 thousand KIA. Ukraine is waiting for 40 billion worth of Aid just from America alone. Did you not read my comment properly? Russia is winning nothing, just destroyed territory. Ukraine does have up to 1 million reservists being trained and will outnumber Russian forces on the battlefield very shortly, I think they may even have more troops now. Just waiting on further deliveries of heavy artillery and Multiple rocket systems. This will nullify Russia's single advantage very shortly. Putin can not mobilize the Russian population because it's politically impossible for him, it's only ' a special military operation' even then he is using 50 year old tanks and asking for people of 50 plus years to join the Military he's scraping the bottom of the barrel. I speak facts only, you will soon see. Even if Putin takes the Donbas the real war is just beginning and it will not end well for Russia.

@Kayzef2003 I have just told you read my comment properly. The Ukrainians are calling up to 1 million reservists. Fact. They will be armed with NATO standard weapons. Fact. The main forces of the Ukrainian military are in defensive positions. They will have much fewer casualties than the attacking Russians who must attack. And every time they attack they lose very large numbers of Troops and equipment. Yes, Ukraine is losing troops but far fewer than Russia. These losses will soon be made up by Ukrainian reservists who are training while the Ukrainian main forces keep the Russians back. Ukraine will get stronger with every passing day while Russia will eventually be bled dry. It took 10 years for the Taliban to defeat The Soviet Union in Afghanistan and the USSR was much more powerful than the Russian Federation. Russia has lost 15 thousand troops in 3 months in Ukraine, what do you think is going to happen to Russia in another 3 months? Even if they take the Donbas do you think that will be the end of this war? Of course not, Ukraine will not stop fighting with or without the support of NATO. Russia will have no choice but to try and take all of Ukraine including the capital which will be impossible for them but if Russia goes on the defensive that just gives the Ukrainians more time to build up a powerful military to take back captured territory. Russia is now in the position of being between a rock and hard place. Putin has backed himself into a corner. Don't you understand Russia can not win this war? Putin will become very desperate and carries the Launch Codes with him everywhere he goes. We are all in grave danger because of the Nationalistic government of Putin's Russia that talks about destroying the world with nukes nearly every single day.

@markstewart5822 Russia is going to lose this war big time. In a way, its already lost. Putin thought he was going to win within 3 to 4 days, we are now going into our 4 months. Russia has lost 1/3 of its military forces, which is completely unsustainable. Within 3 months there will no longer be a viable Russian Army in Ukraine. The only system enabling Russia to move forward is its advantage in long-range weapon systems. This will soon be taken away when Multiple rocket systems and more heavy weapons arrive especially from America. Ukrainian troops have outclassed Russian troops from day one so once Russian artillery is nullified it's going to be bad for Russia. Putin can not declare total mobilization, its politically impossible because according to him it's not a war it's just a ' special operation' and the same goes for placing the economy into a total state of war. This would just mean the collapse of the Russian economy would occur much faster. The Russian economy is smaller than Italys or the state of Texas @ 1.5 Trillion GDP. Its costing Russia up to 20 billion per day to fight this war. Russias economy can not sustain this conflict. Meanwhile Ukraine is fully mobilizing its country and society for total war and it can afford to do this because it's backed by the 50 trillion GDP of the west. It's not faulty analysis just facts. What is Putin going to do when/if he captures the Donbas? His forces have been decimated, he can't hold it, he physically does not have the troops or the logistics. When this first started I, like everybody else, thought it would all be over in a couple of days but Russia has been proven to be a paper tiger. If Russia carries on with this invasion I seriously think it is putting its existence in jeopardy. I have no doubt Ukraine will take back every single piece of occupied territory even the Crimea, and I would not be getting excited over the prospect of Russia taking over all of the Donbas. That will just bleed Russia dry especially when Ukraine is fully mobilised and armed to the teeth with modern weapons. Sorry but its bad news for Russia.

@GairikGhosh Don't worry about the US its 26 trillion GDP economy will cope. Now Russia with a GDP of 1.5 trillion, will over the next 12 months collapse. It will be reduced to the level of North Korea brandishing nuclear weapons for all its worth because it will have nothing else. The Russian Federation is not the USSR. It has a stagnant population, a corrupt government, and a hollowed-out military that is effectively a paper tiger. The USSR was much stronger than Russian Federation but was brought to its knees by the Afghan war, with the loss of 15 thousand men in 10 years. Russia has lost much more than that in 3 months. It is costing up to 20 billion dollars a day. It has lost 1/3 of its army and is under the harshest sanctions with more to come. Russia is finished. I just hope the Russian people snap out of their zombification before it's too late and get rid of Putin.

141 nations at the UN condemned the invasion. 5 countries supported Russia and 1 of those was Russia. A retired Russian General on Russian tv today said that Russia is completely isolated on the world stage with no support. Even China your so-called friend has turned his back. Russia will last another 3 months and then we are going to see one of the greatest defeats in Russian history. Ukraine hasn't even mobilized all its forces yet ( 1 million) and it's getting more modern nato standard weapons every single day. Putin has flushed Russia down the Pan into the sewer and the Russian people have allowed him to do it. Sad.

@yelenashishkina8804 Stop it. Russia is murdering innocent Ukranian women and children as you write your pitiful comment. And there he is preying inside a church for those innocent concert goers, Putin is the Devil and the hypocrasy is beyond words.

There is no city to surrender. Russia destroyed it. They are the Nazis. And the 20 thousand people murdered by the Russians are the martyrs. I think Ukraine's revenge will be harsh.

@archeopterix22 Stop lying to yourself. 80 days into this Nazi invasion by Russia and they have only taken 1 major objective and then it was not taken by Russian soldiers but destroyed by daily bombardments. It will be taken back.
