https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/b0dce4ad-55a2-4daf-a1eb-863133fa7297 The Sunday Times reports citing Western military sources: Ukraine is outnumbered on most sectors and needs at least 250,000 more troops plus heavier weapons to break through. Russia can keep this pace for another year despite losing over a million since the full-scale invasion. It trades massive casualties for slow but steady gains, sometimes just tens of meters a day. A Ukrainian officer near Pokrovsk says Russia holds the edge at every level from aviation to guided bombs on logistics and command posts. Manpower is Ukraine's biggest problem. Drones changed the war but infantry is still critical. Most sources doubt Moscow is serious about talks. The only way to a ceasefire is military pressure combined with oil sanctions and cracking down on the shadow fleet. The outcome hinges on whether the West gives Ukraine enough people, weapons and political backing to shift the balance.
