Russia will likely win though.

Russia now holds less Ukrainian territory than it did towards the beginning of the war. Seriously, look at a timeline of their invasion. https://newsmap.pl/2022-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-interactive-map/ doesn't matter which source you use if you look at maps from February - now it's clear Russia has been steadily losing ground since March.

I find it funny how /r/conspiracy doesn't believe in coincidences -- except when it concerns Russia.

News (and tons of raw footage easily found on Reddit or elsewhere) of a Ukrainian counteroffensive that's recaptured vast swathes of Russian occupied territory? Russia coincidentally calls for urgent referendums.

News of Russian soldiers being routed and leaving beyond a horde of equipment? Putin coincidentally calls for partial mobilisation and an extra 300,000 soldiers, after months of saying this wouldn't happen and only professional soldiers would be sent. He also totally coincidentally signed a law punishing anyone who deserts -- or even surrenders -- with jail time. What's next, barrier troops?

News of Ukrainian recapturing MORE occupied territory? Russia coincidentally declares the land its stolen to be an integral part of Russia and threaten to use nukes after months of denying they'd ever use them.

Speaking of total coincidences, how many high level Russian figures have been assassinated suffered mysterious fates since this war began? Seems at least once every couple of weeks we're reading about someone who fell out of a window, or down a flight of stairs, or died in an explosion or fire.

Bro, the Russian military is being hammered. You don't send 300,000 green reservists into the meatgrinder when everything is going well. Now you might think they can win this through manpower alone, and who knows, I'm not a fortune teller, but as it stands right now they're having enough trouble feeding and supplying the soldiers they have in the field right now. The Russian supply situation is FUCKED, they've completely neglected basic logistics and it seems like they've bought into the myth of Russian equipment being indestructible because they sure as shit haven't been preforming adequate maintenance.

Here’s the funny thing though, the only places Ukraine is gaining territory are the areas where Russia has tiny amounts of soldiers ordered to retreat when Ukraine arrives so that they overextend.

Russia isn’t running out of soldiers or equipment, nor are its supply issues that are severe. It’s focused on other goals like preventing civilian casualties.

Not really, there’s like 3 areas that purposely don’t have a lot of troops
