Unfortunate truth, and an unpopular opinion here. Russia, is grinding the frick out of Ukraine now. The are playing the long game and DGAF what the world thinks. They also know their people will back them forever. I think they make a break out in the next 6-8 weeks. It is time for Ukraine to come to the table. They have only two choices, concede what they have lost, or lose more.
What you say is true. Russia realizes this is a war of attrition; which they know favors them in the long term from both a population and industrial standpoint. They’re gearing up their weapons industry to keep up with the demands of an attritional war. The West has had two years to do this but has done nothing other than to stupidly deplete their own reserves of ammunition and weapons systems. Now, Ukraine is begging for artillery shells on a level the West has no hope to meet even if they wanted to.
The West, especially the US, has played Ukraine. They’ve doled out just enough aid to keep them in the fight, while knowing the level of help they are offering falls woefully short of making an appreciable difference in doing anything more than ensuring the war remains stalemated as long as possible. But now the scales are beginning to tip as Russia’s advantages in arms, ammo, and men begin to tell. Every day Russia slowly gnaws off more and more Ukrainian territory while bleeding the Ukrainian Army white.
Anyone with even a passing knowledge of military matters can see where this war is going. Each passing day means worse terms that Ukraine can expect. The best help the West, especially the US, can offer Ukraine at this point is serious diplomatic efforts at securing the best cease fire they can get. The longer they wait, the worse Ukraine’s position will be.
For those who find what I’ve said disagreeable, save your worthless down vote and instead speak your mind on what I’ve said you think is wrong.

Ukrainian Drones Autonomously Target and Destroy Russian SAM Fleet
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) effectively deployed drones equipped with target auto-acquisition capabilities against the invaders’ air defense systems.
SSU released a video showcasing these drones autonomously locking onto targets and successfully striking them.
Operators were able to target Russian BUK and TOR systems using these drones.
Before the strikes, reconnaissance and target adjustment were likely conducted by Shark drones.
“SSU operators destroyed a batch of Russian air defense systems at the front in a week. They added to their account: 2 BUK air defense systems of various modifications and one BUK air defense system target detection station, 2 TOR-M2 air defense systems, Strela-10 air defense systems, Tunguska air defense systems,” the SSU stated.
Such drones only need to reach the target at a relatively high altitude and mark it, and then the drone itself can strike the target.
Presumably, the Ukrainian drone with such technology has full protection from EW systems, because it goes to the target autonomously.
Among the advantages of such drones with machine vision and target capture, the best efficiency of striking moving targets is also noted.

Roman Abramovich was Russias intermediary in the negotiations process, but he apparently stopped talking to Zelensky after the Crocus attack.

Sorry Darth but you are wrong. I know that you are an arrogant old man with a hemorrhoid problem and it is impossible for old men to admit when they are wrong, but you are wrong.

By the end of this year, Europe will be able to manufacture around 1.4 million 155mm rounds a year, Borrell added.
Once Congress approves funds for Ukraine, the U.S. will be able to manufacture 1.2 million 155mm rounds by October 2025.
Assuming a maximum production rate, the U.S. and EU would manufacture 2.6 million 155mm rounds per year by 2025. Russian production capacity for 152mm rounds, the Soviet equivalent to 155mm, is estimated to grow to 1.3 million by the end of 2024.
That is not counting shell production in Japan, Australia, Chile, Brazil, Egypt, Turkey, or South Korea. It is also not counting the 1.2 million 152mm and 155mm shells the Czech Republic or the additional 800,000 shells Estonia has located for Ukraine. Even if the USA and EU only reach half their production targets they will still be equal to Russian production. Unless you are naive enough to believe the claims that Russia is producing 3 million shells per year. Which it obviously isn’t since it’s importing shells from Iran and North Korea.

Russia is wanting Zeleniski to resign and for Ukraine to hold new elections under Russian guidance, give up all claims to land under Russian control as well the Kharkiv and possibly Odessa oblasts. WTF makes you think Ukraine can get a decent peace deal? How can any deal in the future be worse than that? Pull your head out of your wrinkled old arrogant arse, and realize that you are more likely to get an erection at a cross dressing competition without using Viagra or Cialis than Ukraine is to get a decent peace deal. SirWinston is more likely to marry a biological female than Ukraine is to get a decent peace deal. If what is rumored to be is the best they can get why not atleast make Russia spend the blood and treasure to take Kharkiv and/or Odessa?
