This analysis is great Peter, however you say that the entire Ukrainian male population has been mobilised. That doesn't mean however that they are all on the front lines or even in the armed forces. Ukrainian adult males are now required to not leave the country, however unless a person has military experience they have not been called up. The Ukraine still has a vast number of, so far, untrained men which it can call upon. All the best. PS The audio is STILL terrible.

@Jimmy_The_Goat Yes, those numbers sound right. I believe that with sufficient material assistance from the West that number of troops will be able to hold against Russia and then later as the Ukrainian numbers rise they can concentrate to push back at selective locations. Considering that an attacker requires 3 to 5 times the number of troops to advance than the defender, Ukraine should be in a favourable position. I have heard Peter talk about how Russia has trained for a war where they just destroy cities with artillery. Well, it looks like their artillery will be out ranged by Ukrainian counter battery fire and drones. Since 2014 Ukrainians have planned for Russia's invasion and prior to this year 400,000 Ukrainian troops had combat experience in the east of the country. It certainly looks like the Ukraine has trained for this war better than Russia! All the best Jimmy. Slava Ukraine!

@freddiepizerhall8324 Yes and I just heard that more will go, but my point was that a very large number have not yet gone.
