The EU might decide that it is in Ukraine's best interests if they round up all the male 'refugees' between the ages of 18 - 60 who are currently living in EU states, put them all on a boat, and send them back to Ukraine so they can fight for the regime instead of sitting around getting paid to do nothing here.

I might send a letter to that Nazi woman Vander Leyen (or whatever her name is) suggesting that, just in case they haven't thought of it yet.

We are watching the beginning of the collapse of the AFU. The war of attrition by Russia is the reason why they don't need to change strategy. Ukraine will tucker themselves out on the battlefield at some point which the Russians hope will force a political change in Kiev. Poland, Latvia and Estonia talk tough, but they must know that Ukraine had the 2nd best army in all of Europe prior to the start of this conflict.

Russia have already 200k-300k reserve sitting back waiting, so end of the year they will have 500k plus just waiting to enter the war. I have a feeling Russia will start the real war when USA general election start next year. So will all these troops be enough to take east Ukraine

I would consider if the hesitancy of the Russian forces is due to the possibility (or expectation) of Poland and US forces entering Ukraine. At which point the Russian Armed Forces will then engage in a complete war, not a special operation.

Poland is already getting resistance at home to the idea of dying for Ukraine and they are already at each other's throats.

Both of them are fighting Germany too.

America can barely matter a regiment (100K) or two divisions of troops to mobilize while the Pentagon struggles with ineffective troops that look just like the AFU on the battlefields.

Officers have no leadership and rank and file aren't fit.

It's embarrassing.
