(#5615) Ukrainians are gaining the upper hand

      Ever since the EU and US aid packages were approved and starting supplying Ukraine these past few months the tide of the Russian invasion has changed from Russia attacking relentlessly to now Ukraine counter punching the demoralized Russian military. The change was subtle but significant. As Russia would send wave after wave of ground troops to their death in order to gain very small strips of land. Ukraine on the other hand was preserving their troops and are using technology to not only thwart the Russian troop waves but to beat them back with strategic elimination of command centers and supply chain necessities.
     Now that Ukraine has enough weaponry to withstand the offenses of slow witted Russian commanders they are as well able to counter attack when the Russians are most vulnerable. Kind of like rope a dope by Muhammad Ali. Let your opponent wear himself out and then strike with a fury to batter them into submission. This is working wonderfully for Ukraine as Russia cannot stop themselves from only using ancient war tactics that are easily defensible against. Ukraine is the smarter adversary here for Russia and that is why this war started by Russia will be ended by Ukraine.
     The only end of this invasion by Russia is defeat or surrender by Russia. There is no plan B for Russia either they beat Ukraine or they lose. Russia has shown that after 27 plus months of fighting they are not up to beating Ukraine. They are now in a position of being badly outfitted with defensive military equipment that the other Russian neighbors, who have been under the Russian thumb, may choose to challenge. Either way Russia is losing its strength while also trying to remain tough. Eventually the facts of losing will hit Russia between the eyes and Ukraine will be standing over them ready to hit them again should they not relent!
