Okay so if you read past all the propaganda and made it this far, here’s the real update.

Basically, the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition. They’ve been at a disadvantage with Russia firing more per day for some time, but now the NATO countries are flat running out of ammo to give the Ukraine.

The tanks are not going to help, are fewer in number than promised because NATO found it had fewer in inventory when they tried to see if the tanks actually worked. So fewer tanks arriving later and later.

SOme aircraft donors are saying they will not deliver any aircraft until after Putin’s ‘Special military operation’.

Russia retains its capacity to manufacture ammo - it’s just hard to imagine that NATO just couldn’t hold it together to manufacture enough ammo, but it can’t.

I listened to some videos - talk about Russia’s ‘pincer’ movement etc. but it really comes down to the Ukraine losing the capacity to fire weapons and losing support from the West through a variety of means.

After all the lies, I don’t know how the MSM is going to spin it, but the Ukraine is losing more rapidly now, in this war of attrition. Before, the Ukraine’s losses were slower, hidden, denied etc. Reasonable leaders would have negotiated peace rather than burn through the rest of their soldiers. But the Ukrainians are reaching the point, soon, where won’t be able to fire weapons.

Unfortunately, boys young as 16 and men as old as 60 are being conscripted to serve in the Ukrainian army until the bitter end.

This explains why so many Russians are getting killed, why they are making little progress and why the head of the Wagner Group says he is running out of supplies and men.
