Just in general though they ain't doin so hot?

Why? Their systems suck? Ukraine is just that good? Foreign aid playing a big part?

It's a combination of Ukraine having much much better soldiers and getting a lot of help from the outside and Russia being completely incompetent

Just saw a video of a rocket bouncing off an an American's helmet. Lucky bastard. He was ok

Made me wonder why Russia hasn't gotten super pissy at the US for sending so much aid

Ehh not necessarily. There are countless examples of empires conquering the hell out of their neighbors

They have more to lose for sure, but when the Egyptian, Assyrian, Mongolian, Roman, British etc empires wanted their neighbors there was a good chance they'd get them

With some exceptions of course

They have, but what can they do? They've already staged a full scale invasion. They have no options whatsoever except nukes, and that would end very, very poorly for them.

Also internal corruption, instead of maintenance on vehicles and weaponry the officials pocketed the money.

Means Putin doesn't have much left to lose though right?

Though I bet their nukes would suck too lol. Probably wouldn't work right

The #1 supplier of weapons to Ukraine is Russia.

That should answer any questions you have about who's winning

Maybe not, but Putin himself isn't the one launching the nuke. There's a pretty high chance that, even if he ordered it, the order wouldn't be carried out.

Foreign aid by the way of western military equipment is the biggest factor. Some is old stockpile, like some artillery pieces are circa Vietnam, but also a lot of is state of the art. Drones are playing a huge part in warfare. We have sent a lot of our strategic stock of anti-tank weapons. Etc.

Foreign intelligence. Ukraine is benefiting hugely from getting up to the minute information from US, UK, Poland, etc. This is why Russia had so many generals dying.

Russian morale is allegedly low and has been in units the entire war. Who knows if it is true.

Ukraine has been preparing for this fight since 2014 and they somehow have a previous outsider leader who now has a 91% approval rating and 98% of Ukrainians now believe Ukraine will win the war. Ukraine has no intention of giving up or giving territorial concessions.

Russian's economy sucks. They can't replenish what they use. They are going to be using stockpiles going back 50 years to fight this war.

And the funny thing is... a lot of those explosions we've been seeing for the past month or two have been millions of dollars in ammunition just going up in smoke. The cost-benefit for Ukraine is enormous lately. They're easily winning the war of attrition.

Ukraine managed to snag back some territory but unfortunately Russia still holds a very large part of eastern Ukraine.

It was enough for Russians to start getting shaky though apparently

Speaking from their perspective, highlighting why it's very unlikely to escalate to that level.

Obviously, nuclear war is a bad thing.

Russia has numbers and more artillery/tanks. But their supply lines, competence and morale are a fucking century behind Ukraine and probably most Europe too.

Ukraine has vastly better morale, foreign support and is more competent and inventive.
