Ukraine soon will be getting more troops for the meat grinder

submitted by yaiyen from self.WayOfTheBern

I returned from the line of contact, talked with the guys who captured the AFU soldiers in the southern direction. There are noticeable changes: now they often give up even when it is still possible to fight. There has been a change in the psychology of the Ukrainian military, and more and more soldiers really do not want to get into this massacre. The Kiev regime must understand that it will only get worse.

The breaking point came in June/early July, when the Ukrainian military began to realize that this was the end. The Russians didn't run. It looks like the fracture that the German army had at Stalingrad.

A new wave of mobilization in Ukraine is likely to face much greater public opposition. Although they will be able to gain 200-300 thousand in six months, because they raised the age, cancel the previous conditions of deferral and so on. But the quality of this contingent will be very low. The best that they had is now dying on the fields of war.

How will the loss of numerical advantage affect the AFU? In the most catastrophic way, because we will be able to form strike groups with a preponderance of forces and attack much faster and more effectively. And the fewer AFU soldiers there are at the front, the harder it will be for them to defend.

Right now in the Kupyansk direction, as soon as the AFU soldiers are forced to withstand a barrage of our artillery and aviation for a week, they cease to be combat-ready and give up positions, in fact, without a fight. Western sources also note that every month the Russian army increases by 20 thousand people, minus losses. These are volunteers.

So by winter, the numerical superiority of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may come to naught, and qualitatively this army will degrade further.

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.
