LONDON, March 17 (Reuters) - Russia's invasion of Ukraine has largely stalled on all fronts, with Russian forces suffering heavy losses and making minimal progress on land, sea or air in recent days, British military intelligence said on Thursday.

"Ukrainian resistance remains staunch and well-coordinated," The Ministry of Defence said. "The vast majority of Ukrainian territory, including all major cities, remains in Ukrainian hands."

I'm not sure Russia has any resources at this point. They are completely isolated economically.

Russia leaves and is still stuck with international hate and a load of sanctions. Ukraine now has a military to be feared, as well as billions of dollars of military equipment if Russia ever tries anything again.

Plus, it's likely to join the EU soon as well, which lessens the chance that Russia will do anything.

Mariupol is probably going to fall soon, barring a change in conditions, but other than that

Very glad to see that Russia bit off way more than it could chew. Just feel bad for all the poor Ukrainians that had to suffer for Putin's ego.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Don't forget about all the Russian "tractors" experiencing freedom in the farmlands.

Imagine being Putin and being told that your invincible, modernized Russian army was actually just a glorified Fed-Ex convoy designed to deliver Russian tanks into the hands of Ukrainian farmers.

I don't think he can save face. If he goes with a nuclear option, even a tiny one, that's the go ahead for every country in the world to pounce and overthrow him, while splitting Russia's territory and assets up between them.

The problem is that without some sort of generalized counter offensive to drive the Russians out they can just continue to starve and bombard the cities they've been hitting.

Based on what we've seen of the Ukrainian army's capabilities I don't know that they are logistically capable of doing so. Defense is way easier on supply and logistics than offense. It's possible that they are looking to let the Russians overextend a bit more but I doubt it.

This stalemate still benefits the Russians. Or rather it doesn't benefit the Ukrainians, since the Russians will just turn every city they can into Grozny. Which will be a nightmare on a humanitarian scale.
