Determination.
Ukraine has no air force, Russia has.
Russia has almost 10 time more soldiers.
Unless western countries start sending soldiers to fight Russians, there should be no way for Ukrainians to even withstand.
Nonetheless, Russia is definitely not winning after 1 year.
Maybe Russia will end up controlling the majority of the land. Just rubbles and ashes.
This is not winning IMHO.
- tokai 4y ago>Ukraine has no air force Not true. They are still flying.
- codedokode 4y ago> Russia has almost 10 time more soldiers. I believe this is wrong. Russia doesn't have 10 times more soldiers now, and regular army isn't deployed in Ukraine; only volunteers (including prisoners), mobilized soldiers and contract army is.
- m2fkxy 4y ago> regular army isn't deployed in Ukraine May you elaborate on what your understanding of "regular army" is?
- codedokode 4y agoAn army of people conscripted for 1 year for training; they are not sent to the war. Every man must serve for 1 year. There are also soldiers hired by contract and well paid for their service. They are sent to the war and they cannot refuse or break the contract. Sometimes they are called "professional army". Army of conscripts is around 1-1.5 million soldiers; professional army was about 300 000 soldiers before invasion. It was not enough to win so there was a mobilization of about 400 000 (official numbers) and recruiting volunteers from prisoners.
