The strategy on how this war can end on favorable terms for Ukraine is the same as most other wars of attrition: kill more Russians steadily over a period of several more years. Their population is large but not infinite. With a sufficient arsenal of advanced weapons from allied countries this is potentially achievable. This is a horrible situation and I take no delight in it but now millions of Russians will have to die to resolve a problem caused by their leaders.
The other strategy is to cut off Russia's war funding through a combination of sanctions and (more importantly) Ukrainian long-range strikes on fossil fuel export infrastructure. This is more of a long shot but it could work.
- ivan_gammel 1y agoIn an attrition war where Ukraine has less than 30M people (25% population decline since start of war) and Russia has around 140M, who do you think can win? What advanced weapons and in which volume can West supply that can change the course of war given population constraints?
