Looks like whatever the plan was in Ukraine is getting scrapped. They will be running out of money, weapons, ammo and cannon fodder with Israel sucking all the oxygen (attention and money) into their region. Ukraine will be lucky to get anything out of whatever the ending agreement/settlement ends up being. Talk about a failure of intelligence in identifying the adversaries determination. Our foreign policy experts have managed to implement policies that aren't in anybody that's involved best interests. Other than maybe the MIC.
It was always Russia’s war to lose, and never the Ukrainian’s to win. The Russians, as terrible fighters as they are, as corrupt as they are, had the one thing the Ukrainians desperately lacked. Numbers.
The Ukrainians had a respectable kill ratio but it was still about 1/5 of the minimum kill ratio they needed to have the slimmest of hopes for victory. Even with all the advanced weapon systems, ammo, and money the west threw at them.
