Do you know how effective military forces are, when people are fighting against their will?
What's your explanation for why Russia outnumbers Ukraine about 20-to-1, is outspending them by about 10-to-1, and is stalled about 100 km from the border, after three years of fighting?
Idk where you get that from, you can check the map that is updated every day here: https://deepstatemap.live I just checked total occupied territory month ago and today and it's 68196-67889=307 km in a month.
km, not km². The red part at the eastern edge of Ukraine is about 100 km thick.
My point is that that's an incredibly poor showing for Russia fighting against a massively outnumbered enemy that's mismanaging a war fought by people who don't want to fight. And, on top of that, they have people giving advice to NATO and the EU about how they should organize their militaries, as if they have a bunch of authority and insight as to how to do it. What's your explanation?
They can't efficiently extend frontline "into the depth" (km) because it leads to "cauldrons", so they extend it along all the border.
It took 2 absurd failing counteroffensives to wipe all willing soldiers and forced conscription started just half of year ago, and everything was on rapid decline since then. It doesn't all happen overnight.
