7 seconds of google research said the people that live in Crimea overwhelmingly support Russia. Is that true?

thats a good question, from my research, i dont know. there is obviously a group that does but is it the majority? its hard to tell, and it could also be a lot of people are on the fence or ambivalent

It’s artillery guns their outnumbered by. We have to wait a few more weeks to see how the training on and fielding of NATO weapons and ammo will affect that area. Otherwise they’ve still been able to safely poke at Russian lines. One of the bigger issues is either side really making a push and ending up in the range of dialed in artillery. The more triple 7’s being fielded, the better the freedom of movement.

zelensky admitted that they are outnumbered in the donbas region, more weapons is good, but they need to basically double the size of their army to kick the russians out as opposed to just playing defense

I think I mistook it as the whole east. And yes, a force needs to have a number advantage to remove a dig in enemy force. I keep reading and hearing about continued conscription. I personally feel they’ll be in a better place, at least below izium, by the end of the summer.

Yeah on the long term ukr has the advantage but that advantage is on the presumption of nato support and they enlarge their army and that russia doesnt mobilize new troops

The main problem right now is that ukr has been running a defensive war hoping to exhaust the Russians. The problem is Russia isn't exhausted yet. The only way to exhaust Russia is by increasing the size of the army and going on the offensive

The notion that ukr just needs more weapons and they can defeat Russia is just not true, imo, they need overwhelming amount of troops also
