As the war dragged on, minor issues in 2022 became glaring problems by 2025. Ukraine’s professional military core eroded, replaced by mobilized teachers, drivers, farmers, and IT workers.

What?

Three years later, these issues expose systemic failures to adapt, not mere growing pains.

Also What??

Honest discussion about these issues is essential, without downplaying or ignoring their existence.

That's what a liar propagandist would say, isn't it?

World War II proved large wars can’t be won by motivated volunteers alone:

WTF?!?!
Oh boy this is just one big straw-man argument, I can't endure any more, read at your own peril.

I want Ukraine to have a definite and permanent victory, but lionizing the UAF at every level is the propaganda line, not admitting their shortcomings. Its been over 2 years, they've put up a very admirable fight and done a lot of damage to Russia but they've suffered a lot of damage as well. It's a meat grinder for everyone, with minimal to no gains and no end in sight. I am not at all surprised by news of desertions, draft dodging, and generally low morale.

Absolutely not true.

If a fifth grader and a lion got in a fight and after an hour both parties had lost an eye but still fighting

You're not going to look at that and go "wow that fifth grader is doing really bad" you're going to be like what the fuck is wrong with that lion? Shit was supposed to be over 1000 days ago.

Russia is absolutely losing. A middle school football team is crushing the Lakers in basketball.
