The fact that Ukraine pushed Russia back at all is an accomplishment.
Russia is fighting every bit of weaponry the USA/NATO can deliver. Russia not being a debtor nation may be smart to let the west spend hundreds of billions of borrowed money on what will eventually be a failed effort unless WW3 results. Then the whole world fails except for sheithole countries that aren't worth bombing. They can continue to sit around their huts and fires and wonder why the Peace Corps and the missionaries quit bothering them.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Ukraine Sent Poor, Untrained Men Into Bakhmut Meat Grinder

Ukraine sent untrained recruits into the battle of Bakhmut to save its professional soldiers for an expected counteroffensive, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The Journal spoke with men who were part of a small group that was sent into Bakhmut, which became known as the meat grinder, just a few days after being mobilized. Out of 16 men in the group of draftees, 11 were either killed or captured. The Journal described them as “mostly poor men from villages in the northeastern Kharkiv region, many of them unemployed, doing odd jobs as handymen or shift work at factories in the regional capital.” Image: EPA/EFE
Some of the men had military training years or decades ago, but none had combat experience. A few of them threatened to refuse orders when they were told they were being sent to the frontlines on February 21, citing a lack of training, but they ultimately went.
One man, Vladyslav Yudin, told the Journal that he told a sergeant major that he had never fired or even held a gun before. “Bakhmut will teach you,” Yudin was told.
The men participated in brutal house-to-house combat in Bakhmut. Many of them are presumed dead, but their families are still holding out hope that they were captured by the Russians and are still alive.
The men’s accounts match what Ukrainians fighting on the frontlines had been telling the media while the battle was still raging. They told stories of troops being sent in with little support, training, or ammunition.
The Washington Post spoke to a Ukrainian battalion commander in March who said he was being sent fresh recruits who didn’t want to fire their guns because they were afraid of the sound.
Despite Kyiv’s Western backers advising against expending resources on Bakhmut, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tried to hold onto the city for as long as he could, but it was fully captured by the Wagner Group and Russian forces this past weekend.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin estimated that 50,000 Ukrainians lost their lives fighting for the city, but the number is not confirmed. Prigozhin also said that he recruited 50,000 people from prison to fight in Bakhmut and about 20% of them were killed.
You think those corksuckers who would be our advisors like Gayghost, Lostinhell, Sickermore, Plumdumb and Houston_2 give a schirtt. They don't care that Governors of the 5 swing states illegally violated old peoples Constitutional rights and sent them to nursing homes to die of viral pneumonia or lack of food or water in order to drive up the Covid-19 death count to justify illegally violating peoples Constitutional rights of assembly at school, church, work, funerals or even walking on the beach or fishing on lakes in order to crash the economy and drive Trump out of office.
The only thing they care about is destroying the United States by any means possible including supporting a massive illegal foreign invasion where dimocrap strongholds are illegally putting those people on voting rolls if they come up with an electric bill.

And the Russians , having run out of rockets and ammo last May , are still throwing shovels and pitchforks at the Ukrainians to no great effect. The Ukrainians are at the gates of Moscow which will fall as soon as the F16’s arrive…

Vladimir Putin has been ill with cancer for a "long time" and will die "very fast", Ukraine's chief of defence intelligence has claimed in a rare interview. Kyrylo Budanov said sources close to Putin has confirmed that the 70-year-old leader was suffering from cancer.
