The spin on that guy’s statement lol
This is exactly what the US Military Industrial Complex wants. Congress wants to find the perfect balance of aid to keep a sustainable revenue for their lobbyists.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s top commander has acknowledged that his forces are locked in a “stalemate” with Russia along a front line that has barely shifted despite months of fierce fighting, and that no significant breakthrough was imminent.
His comments marked the first time a top Ukrainian commander said the fighting had reached an impasse, although General Zaluzhny added that breaking the deadlock could require technological advances to achieve air superiority and increase the effectiveness of artillery fire.
While Ukraine was able to drive Russian forces out of nearly half of the land they seized in their initial invasion in a series of counteroffensives — surprising many military analysts — the general said “the war at the present stage is gradually moving to a positional form” where both sides can pin each other down.
In his interview and essay, General Zaluzhny pointed out that the standoff was largely the result of technological parity on the battlefield, with both sides using modern sensors to detect troops and equipment, and advanced weapons to destroy them.
Faced with Russian jamming, Ukrainian troops are often unable to mass and attack in large numbers because coordination between infantry, tanks and artillery support is so difficult without functioning communication gear.
“It’s a tactical blockage,” said Thibault Fouillet, the deputy director of the French Foundation for Strategic Research, noting that Russian and Ukrainian troops were mutually canceling each other’s air and ground capabilities.
The original article contains 1,301 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
If the war’s at a gridlock, both parties can surely agree upon a ceasefire to avoid further loss of lives and infrastructural damage.
Do you guys get paid to shill for the Russian position? Or are you sad enough to do it for free?
We should ask you that. You NAFO trolls just use the same script over and over like telemarketers.
Considering I have no fucking idea what a NAFO troll is I feel like it undermines your point a fair bit. Maybe you keep hearing the same thing from others because you need to reconsider your position?
Riiigght.

Truly a shocker!
Ah, you are too dumb to understand what is a pretty simple idea, therefore the idea has been undermined. Very impressive, very correct.
Stupidity ≠ naivety.
You also failed to understand why it undermined the point, so my condolences for your critical thinking skills.

Ukraine lost the counter-offensive terribly and now the bear will ready itself for another push
Russia has been pushing this whole time, they can’t achieve shit.
Russia spent a year building out sophisticated multi layer defences and training up 300k new recruits because it was obvious to everyone with a brain that the west would push Ukraine into an offensive to show progress. This is precisely what happened this summer, and all that preparation that Russia did paid off massively with Russia having gained more ground over the course of the summer than Ukraine.
The original plan that was sold in the west was that Ukraine would do a rapid blitzkrieg to the sea of Azov. Then it got scaled down to reaching Tokmak, and in reality it ended up being a handful of villages in the security zone failing to even reach the first line of the actual defences. One of the biggest achievements of the offensive was the capture of Piatykhatky which literally translates to five huts.
The west cobbled together all the available stockpiles of weapons and ammunition that it had for this offensive that’s now sitting in massive graveyards of tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles around the frontline. Western countries openly say that they’ve run out of existing stocks of weapons to send, and do not have the industrial capacity to produce more in the near future. Meanwhile, Russian industrial activity is growing at the fastest pace in six years.
Russia is already going on an offensive all across the front, and will likely capture Avdiivka in the near future which will be a debacle comparable to Bakhmut for Ukraine.
Im pretty sure ukraine has a net loss of territory since the beginning of the war
Russia has also been dug in for the past year, hell yeah they’re barely pushing.
Bakhmut says what
Hows that counter-offensive going?
That’s just incorrect. The idea that Russia has been putting their full effort into this is flimsy propaganda. If Russia truly was putting their all into this war you would see the rest of the western bloc coming to destroy Russia, but they haven’t have they? Because it is not that delicate.
The fact that people keep falling for such obvious nonsense shows incredible amounts of gullibility and utter lack of capacity for any sort of critical thinking.
That’s one way to phrase it. Another is “the nato wunderwaffes didn’t work and our offensive has failed spectacularly”
Feb 2022: Not one inch!
Today: Russia has 1/5th of Ukraine.
What a shit-show.
Da fuck are you taking about? The “win” for Ukraine the public expected was “Survive and defend Kiev”. The fact that they rolled back around half the gains Russia made since 2022 is amazing. Even a stalemate is far better that anything Russia or many on the west expected.
I have a policy to never argue with NPCs on the Ukraine-Russia war. Whatever it is you are saying, you are obviously right…
Imagining calling someone an NPC unironically.
Nearly everyone was terrified that Kiev would be taken right at the beginning. I don’t know of anyone who said not one inch. They’ve said since that they won’t concede the taken land and will fight for it. You’re so full of shit.
Read my previous comment on the subject.
No I fully understand that you are a jackass.
