I wonder how many foreign fighters and "advisors" are in country and what percentage of them are near the front.
Past few months, I saw many videos of foreign fighters on the frontlines but I don't think we can possibly know the percentage of them there.

And it's likely for the better because I read that Wagnerites get bonuses if they kill a foreign fighter.

i wouldnt be expecting attrition to win a war against russia with their meatgrinder mentality. they have far more leftover men than ukraine. ukraine needs strategic goals on the table that will force a retreat, and they need the weapons and training to accomplish it. judging by the way they are supplied by the west, there might not actually be an interest in helping ukraine go that far. keeping russia bogged down indefinitely may actually be the west's goal.

That is a better goal for us in the West
We dont want Russia to be "defeated" only for them to go home and regroup in 10 years with battle hardened troops that survived the Ukraine war training a new generation for the real fight against NATO. Better to keep them in a quagmire thats bleeds them out indefinitely, while not having to actually accept Ukraine into NATO and the EU

How long can that realistically be kept up?

So far all we are seeing is a strengthened resolve by the West to give Ukraine what they need to win more and more as time goes by. Nobody wants this war to drag out simply to bleed out Russia. Many other things are negatively affected by this war that demand an expeditious end.

Not gonna lie though, the West is amped to finally test their new shyt against... Soviet surplus?
