Unlike the Russian forces who are highly motivated to fight for their country, to fight for their freedom, their democracy and their way of life, the Ukrainians lack in leadership, they lack will, the morale is poor, and their discipline is eroding.
Ukraine has resorted to tightening conscription laws as they indiscriminately feed their citizens into the chaos of war, and so far, they've been quite ineffective in their coordination or direction of combined arms maneuver on the battlefield.
Over the past year, Ukraine’s temporary territorial gains have come with enormous losses. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have fled their country, in addition to the casualties. They are trying to avoid fighting in Zelensky’s war.
Ukraine continues to fail in achieving its strategic objectives. They failed to seize Crimea they failed to topple the Russian government, and they failed to fracture Donbass and Lugansk. In fact, they've done just the opposite. Crimea stands, the people of Eastern Ukraine are emboldened, and Russia has never been stronger.
