Ukraine has 44 million people. A lot of women are also fighting. Even if they have lost 100K people they have yet to exhaust their potential soldiers. Say 20% would make good soldiers that is about 9 million potential soldiers. If only 10% that would be 4.5 million. And kids are growing up every year to soldier ages.

That’s exactly what he wants the world to believe .

Once Russia take’s Ukraine then Belarus will join as they are already in Putins back pocket followed by Latvia and Estonia and Lithuania

After that he moves south to grab the Balkan states with the exception of Greece obviously

Ukraine is the gateway though as they are the strongest so once they fall the rest will have little will to fight

I think this one has stung so badly Putin will stay at home for a while.

Russia has 143 million

The big issue is that Ukraine is burning through supplies faster than they can replenish them and even with some funding from western nations it is not enough. Eventually our support will dry up since no nation is willing to go to all out war with Russia.

The support we are sending now is merely for political purposes and everyone knows it’s just a matter of time until they fall.

All Russia has to do is keep wearing them down
 
Ukr 3% Bakhmut, Prigozhin Wagner Withdraw 10 May; Zelensky Tours Europe; Putin Security Council Meet

Yes and most of them do not want to fight in Ukraine. Ukrsaine has already fought them to standstill.If we give Ukraine longer ranged HIMAR missiles it will be a game changer. They are already training F16 pilots another game changer. . Nobody wants Russia invading other countries in Europe (like you said) I suspect NATO is in this for the long haul. A lot of NATO still has vivid memory of the Soviet occupation.

The Ukrainians spent the better part of a decade fortifying Artemivsk (Bakhmut), which the Russians mostly with Wager have taken 97% of.....and with relatively light casualties....that could not have happened if Wagner was not adequately supplied.

THINK.

Indeed. Who to believe? Ukraine or Prigozhin ?

It will take a few days to figure out if Prazosin has talked his way out of a leadership position, but so far it appears that he has.
