    Even if that was the case it’s the same for Ukraine who have less troops suffering from poor training and equipment shortages while forced to attack well defended positions.

      It’s actually not the same, not even close, even according to pro-Russian sources.

            Nah, I check sources like WSJ, The Economist, and The Telegraph, all rabidly pro Ukrainian. You’re right thought that there’s no point having a discussion with someone like you
