Je n'aime pas non plus les armes offensives. Cependant, tout différend sur les types d'armes est théorique lors de la défense de votre pays contre un ennemi, qui est prêt à se pencher au niveau le plus bas, dans ses tentatives pour faire capituler le défenseur. Au moins, sur la base de la performance à ce jour, nous pensons que l'Ukraine et les Ukrainiens auront le désir, la capacité et la détermination d'assurer la recherche et la récupération rigoureuses des munitions, de leur territoire après la fin de la guerre. L'intention sera de supprimer toutes les munitions inexplorées, y compris les mines, les bombes et les grenades.
L'Ukraine a progressivement et délibérément diminué la capacité de la Russie à faire la guerre, contre l'Ukraine et contre d'autres pays également. Pour cela, nous, en particulier ceux les plus proches de la Russie, nous serons sans aucun doute reconnaissants.
I don't like any offensive weapons either. However, any dispute over the types of weapons is moot when defending your country against an enemy, that is prepared to stoop to the lowest level, in their attempts to make the defender capitulate. At least, on the basis of performance to date, we believe that Ukraine and Ukrainians will have the desire, capacity and determination to ensure rigourous searching and recovery of munitions, from their territory after the war is ended. The intention will be to remove all unexplode ordnance, including mines, bombs and grenades.
Ukraine has gradually and purposefully diminished Russia's capacity to wage WAR, against Ukraine and against other countries also. For that we all, particularly those closest to Russia, will no doubt, be thankful.

When viewed in relation to the retreats, withdrawals, and routs of Russian forces from Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson, which some seem to have conveniently forgotten or deliberately overlooked, the location of Bakhmut was always of relatively little value except, possibly, to the people who once lived there and all Ukrainians. There certainly appears to be nothing of value to the victors where the city of Bakhmut once stood. In fact, it may even be considered a liability and a sponge for resources.
All these retreats occurred despite Russians and their insurgent and insurrectionist, so-called "separatists", holding Crimea and much of the Donbas region since 2014.
POPULATIONS: Bakhmut Population: ~70,000;
Kyiv Population: 2.884 million (2017) Kharkiv Population: 1.419 million (2017)
Kherson Population: 289,697 (2017); Sumy Population: 264,753 (2017)
** KYIV, ** 4 April 2022
With heavy losses and the inability to make further progress, Russia withdrew its forces from Kyiv and Zhytomyr oblasts in April 2022, and Ukrainian forces retook control.
Kremlin officials have announced plans to withdraw troops from the Kyiv region in what is widely being seen as tacit recognition of Russia’s failure to seize the Ukrainian capital. The Russian retreat from Kyiv is the strongest signal to date that Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine War is not going according to plan.
Speaking on March 29, and in an apparent attempt to spare Putin’s blushes, Fomin said the move was aimed at “increasing mutual trust, creating the right conditions for future negotiations, and reaching the final goal of signing a peace deal with Ukraine.” What an absolute parody of the real situation that Russia had created and continues to pursue.
** SUMY, ** 4 April 2022
The Battle of Sumy was a military engagement which began on 24 February 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as part of the Northeastern Ukraine offensive, and ended on 4 April 2022 when Russia withdrew all of its forces from Sumy Oblast.
** KHARKIV, ** 13 September 2022
Russian forces have been 'ordered to retreat' from Kharkiv and the advancing Ukrainian troops, as some Russians leave weapons behind in ‘apparent panic’.
The Russian troops are to focus instead, on defending their position in the eastern Donbas region, according to western intelligence sources.
Ukrainian forces have reclaimed more than two thousand square miles of territory as they continue their counter-offensive, the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday, regaining key locations in the Kharkiv region.
** KHERSON, ** 9 November 2022
After Russian troops seized Kherson in March, they were ordered to retreat from Kherson in face of Ukrainian advance. Loss of the only regional capital captured by Moscow since invasion began will come as significant blow to Vladimir Putin.
The retreat occurred only weeks after a high-profile ceremony in Moscow in which he announced the “forever” annexation of the Kherson region, along with three others.
Even before they pulled off their jaw-dropping counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region, Ukrainian troops had thrashed Russian forces in the Kherson region 600 kilometres to the southwest, aided by powerful and precise Western weaponry.
The powerful and precise weaponry, that Ukraine has in inventory and available within other countries, has increased massively in quantity and qualitative value since November last year. While I do not think it is possible to accurately evaluate what is Russia's present military strength, the Russian military strength is, most likely now, significantly less than it had available in the fourth quarter of 2022. While Ukraine's capacity is increasing, I believe that Russia's capacity is decreasing at an unsustainable rate.

Rapid End to WAR & Attrition of Military Resources.
The current conference/coalition of nearly 60 countries will continue to support Ukraine until the primary objective has been achieved. There will be no peace in this world until those goals have been achieved and Russia is, in some way, restrained from attacking other countries.
Many people are saying, "We could have ended this WAR last year, if Ukraine had been given all they needed". What people seem to forget, or simply do not know, is that:
#** February 2022 Russia had nearly 3 times as many tanks as Ukraine had prior to Feb 2022.
Russia 3,400 tanks Ukraine 1,400 tanks {60% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, Ukraine's tank inventory is believed to be considerably better equipped and have greater capacity and firepower than the Russians and they now have more, outnumbering the Russians by ~50%.
Russia 990 tanks Ukraine 1,500 tanks {50% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Russia had 14% more heavy guns and artillery in Feb 2022
Russia 2,200 Artillery Ukraine 1,900 Artillery {14% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the Artillery and heavy guns inventories are:
Russia 773 Artillery Ukraine 1,100 Artillery {42% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems {MLRS}
Russia 1,100 MLRS Ukraine 840 MLRS {25% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the numbers of MLRS are:
Russia 354 MLRS Ukraine 427 MLRS {20% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
Had an all out WAR been fought in the early months of 2022, Russia would have had an advantage of nearly 3:1 against Ukraine in terms of military hardware. That may well have been greater, for Russia, because of respective levels of training of military personnel on the various platforms being used, and the elements of logistics and supply.
Today, Russia's inventory of military hardware is believed to actually be less than that of Ukraine in all the categories above. Ukraine has depleted Russia of much of its land-based hardware, probably most of the best of the Russian troops and massive amounts of ammunition and also a lot of the infrastructure; railways, roads, bridges and fuel stocks and storages, that Russia relies on for movement of troops, hardware and ammunition. That depletion of Russian military assets continues.
The figures above do not include the areas where Russia retains superiority; jet fighter air-craft, Su-95 heavy bombers, ships and submarines in the Black and Caspian Seas. However, since February 2022, Russia has lost; 315 air-craft, 310 helicopters, 18 Ships and boats, including the flagship, Moskva.
By this gradual process of attrition of the hardware, equipment, ammunition and {unfortunately, from a humanitarian perspective} Russian military personnel, I believe that many lives, particularly of Ukrainian civilians and military personnel, have been saved.
