> Russia cannot sustain the war effort at this cost and this pace for the entirety of Ukraine. the question is who will starve faster: Ukraine or Russia.

  A complete abandonment by the US could cause it to be Ukraine. With ample supplies, possibly even just by Europe, it is likely to be Russia.

    Why do you think so? There are many signs of Ukrainian starvation: 25% of population is displaced, they always were dependent on Russian energy, which they are cut from, they receive asymmetrical damage from Russian drone strikes. I don't see much signs of starving from Russian side at the same time.

      Neither side is literally starving. Ukraine is not dependent on Russian energy. The drone strike damage is largely negligible.

          I mean, yes, it holds because of western aid. That’s not up to debate.
