Have Russia's gains since Feb 2022, been worth the cost?

Nope. I’m really sorry.
Currently, 12% of Ukraine’s fighting force is there voluntarily. October and November 2025 were records for Ukrainian desertion.
That’s why this thread goes weeks without any updates from the actual frontline in Ukraine.
A random drone strike in Russia is not news. Ukraine having record desertions 4 years into the war is major news. Of course that will not be discussed at length here.

Then why can't Russia take advantage of Ukraine's manpower problems and finish off this war?
Maybe Ukraine's issues aren't as bad as you think they are, or maybe Russia simply doesn't have the ability to capitalize on Ukraine's weakness? It has to be one of the two...Which one?
ETA:
The irony.....It goes weeks without major updates because Russia isn't advancing at more than a snail's pace. Ukraine is playing defense; weeks without updates are a GOOD thing for Ukraine, it's NOT a good thing for Russia.

Why the frick are you asking me? Fly to Russia and ask them.
I simply posted facts about desertion.

You seem to be very knowledgeable about Ukraine's manpower issues, I figured you knew what Russia's issues were as well.
I don't recall anyone in this thread saying Ukraine wasn't having problems and that the situation for them is very challenging.
In spite of whatever issues Ukraine has, Russia is so ineffective that it can't capitalize on Ukraine's problems.

Hey!
Does anybody want to take bets on how long JB gets to last before being kicked off again? Chrome? Vol? DoubleD? Anybody?
My bet is two months....eh, make it one month. He's too obvious. One month.
Where are the admins? They ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BET.
What do ya'll want the stakes to be?

Please explain how Russia is winning, you said it, explain your stance.
Talking about Ukraine's manpower issues isn't even close to an explanation of how Russia is winning. That's just one of the problems Ukraine faces.
Russia is having severe manpower issues as well; that's why they have been bringing in North Koreans, Syrians, and now Africans to fight for them.

However, if they keep treating them like this, they will probably see a decline in people willing to take their money to go fight in Ukraine.

I never said Ukraine is winning. They are losing too.
The issues Ukraine is having illustrates just how bad things have gone for Russia who had done very little to take advantage.

It is discussed, and it had an impact just as the drone raids are. Just like the massive Russian losses. Just like the the collapse of Rusdian power around the globe.
If Ukraine surrendered today Russia as will have huge problems and we know Ukrsine isn’t about to surrrnder.

Correct, action on the front lines had dropped since November and early December. Things have slowed down.

You posted those facts in defense of your argument that Russia is winning. Yet you can't explain why Russia isn't taking advantage of it. If your opponent gives you an opportunity and you don't capitalize on it...was it really that great of an opportunity to begin with?
I'm still waiting to hear you explain how Russia is winning and if the win is worth the cost.

Could be a combination of those, and the style of warfare doesn't help either

Your response - “There are no updates from Ukraine and that’s GOOD”
You are a delusion individual of a very high order.
Posted on 1/10/26 at 12:52 pm to texag7
You are making yourself look like a fool
Your response was a defense of your statement that Russia is factually winning
That response did nothing but discuss Ukraine's manpower issues; it contains no proof that Russia is winning, only that Ukraine has manpower issues. Do you understand that?
You then cited the lack of updates from the front as some indicator that Russia is winning. I simply pointed out the fallacy of that statement.
You still haven't given ONE valid example of how Russia is winning, or answered whether the 66 km^2 they've taken since the start of the war was worth the price they paid for it.
You should hang up your spurs; you are outclassed in this conversation.
All hat and no cattle.
