Another point is that Ukraine might now have enough weapons to destroy all Russian tanks, planes and helicopters operating in Ukraine.
But even though things look hopeful, there really is no countermove to Putin bombing every major Ukrainian city.
So it looks like a stalemate unless Putin successfully conquers Donbas, at which point he might negotiate some kind of peace.
But with heavy vehicles such as tanks starting to arrive for the Ukrainians, a quick resolution to the invasion seems a long way off.
- _kbh_ 5y agoTheres anecdotal evidence that Russia is also running out of missiles, which would make it a lot harder to bomb the Ukrainian cities into rubble, not that they aren't doing that already anyway.
- sharken 5y agoThat would be very good news if true. It also looks like Russia will have to spend Dollars from sale of gas and oil on debt payments. If that happens it will be even harder to manufacture more missiles.

- tim333 5y ago>there really is no countermove to Putin bombing every major Ukrainian city So far shooting down the planes works.
