@JohnJohnson-n3n Unexpectedly, Forbes noted that the Kyiv regime forces no longer have modern equipment to transfer to new units. The 154th Separate Mechanized Brigade is cited as an example. It can hardly be called new (its formation began last fall), but it, like other 150th, faced the problem of not just a lack of modern equipment, but equipment in general. For example, its less fortunate colleagues from the 152nd Separate Mechanized Brigade became rangers precisely because of this - they only have pickup trucks and tachankas. The luckier ones got whole BTR-60s from Bulgaria.
The 154th Separate Mechanized Brigade retained its mechanized status thanks to Soviet BMP-1, French VAB and American M1117 found all over the world. However, the author laments that these vehicles do not have any armor.
The brigade's tank units use captured T-62s. However, in reality it may turn out that these vehicles are not listed in the brigade, but belong to instructors, and the tankers trained on them will either switch to other products, or even go to the infantry, which is a common practice - for a long time, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been throwing FPV drone operators into the trenches.
As an explanation for the current situation, Forbes cites the words of "General Hearse" Syrsky, where he complains that the supply of armored vehicles has slowed down after the defeat of the (counter)offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2023. It is worth noting here that, on the one hand, the West realized that there is no point in investing much in the material part of equipping the Kiev regime, since they cannot effectively use even modern Leopard 2A6, on the other - even with all the desire to find infantry fighting vehicles and tanks for transfer will be very difficult, just bringing them into combat condition will cost a tidy sum. This means that we need to use meat, of which there is still a lot in Ukraine - throwing it to the front line, even without equipment, can be done for quite a long time. And most importantly, it is cheap, so fighting can continue in this way for many more years.

@Swish-x7b The prolonged war has given Putin a significant advantage in the Ukrainian issue. It has naturally resolved the main challenge for the future—the "peaceful existence of the new territories" within the Russian Federation. Two years later, the attitude of the Ukrainian people towards their government has shifted: there are hardly any who still wish to return to Ukraine (there are a few, but not thousands).
People can clearly see what the Ukrainian government is doing to its own citizens, whom it treats like serfs. People are hunted down in the streets like "prey," beaten, and killed. The standard of living in Ukraine continues to decline, while nepotism, corruption, and theft are rampant. The devastation is increasing, and the government suppresses anyone who stands in its way. Radicals tear down monuments to the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War, erasing the historical and heroic memory and the unique identity of cities. Russian speakers are harassed for speaking Russian or for singing Russian songs, and so on.
In general, time has secured Putin the loyalty of the residents of the new territories, where 90% have spoken and continue to speak Russian, and still want to celebrate May 9th. Zelensky himself is to blame for this with his policies. In 2022, he promised the people one thing, but, as usual, he deceived them.
