> We are approaching the third year and you're unaware to the degree the Russian military industrial complex was revealed as a fraud?

It's very hard to square that conclusion based on the fact that it's Ukraine that has consistently lost territory during this war, save for a couple offensives that ground to a halt pretty quickly.

This war will end with Ukraine losing a significant chunk of it's territory.

Russia has gained territory slowly using meat waves. It has possibly taken 500,000 casualties gaining only 18 miles of front in the last year.

During the war Ukraine has regained territory in fast maneuvers and large amounts when Russia's defenses falter.

Ukraine has utterly defeated Russia's Navy, its has neutralized its armor, fights on peer or better with the air force.

What is necessary for Ukraine to achieve near total victory is to neutralize Russia's artillery and disrupt supply lines and staging inside Russia, which the NATO rules of engagement only just allowed.

It's my general opinion that while all of the Donbas region may not be reclaimed which isn't of great value except as a buffer zone, it is still possible for Ukraine to recapture Crimea, which is inevitable if the Ukrainians defeat the Russians across the Dnieper because of Russia's functional loss of its navy.
