They're still stuck in a stalemate and have an enormous number of casualties to show for it. The current hot war in Ukraine started in February 2022, so 3.5 years on despite offering money to fill billets they cannot win the war. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere about how desperate people don't necessarily make good, professional and effective soldiers, and the corollary to that: poor, unprofessional, ineffective soldiers don't win you wars.
