Polls Show Western Public Favors General Support for Ukraine, But Is Increasingly Skeptical About Supplying Arms | Russia Matters

Declining but still finds majorities or large minority for military support. And heavy majority for financial/humanitarian support.
This is after a year. With this trend support is guaranteed for atleast another year before politicians might feel eager to play to popular opinion.

I believe Ukraine has become to big to fail. Support will continue eventhough some far right or left politicians might try to stir the pot amoung the isolationists in the US and the anti-war segment in Europe being influenced by russian propaganda. But reallity has kicked in, atleast in Europe. The putinversteher has lost all credibillity.

“Zelensky will have to flee to the USA,” American expert

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will flee to the West long before Russian troops reach him, Colonel Douglas McGregor, former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense, has said.


The clown shouldn't be allowed to leave alive

This is the best you can do : quote a drop out from the Army that even in Trumps low ball administration could not secure an ambassador post to Germany. My neighbor's dog could get that post.

I thought he was going to use his shock troops to take over Kiev last summer. Instead they went to Disney World

unlike the stupid Americans who invade on fake pretext and get owned Russia dont do that

so them hiring me is out of the question

but the real question is when will Americans hire a transvestite like you to lead the pink air borne division into battle against real men like Russians

I think these days its called the LGTBQ++11--22, I hear you must be the number one fan boy of this division

Didn't these real men you admire got their butts kicked in Afghanistan (the example you use) and couldn't even take over tiny Finland? How do you admire them blindly. I don't have blind admiration for NATO, but the pro-Russian crew thinks they water like the centurions

The Shah had SAVAK do the dirty work mostly.

You are absolutely right. I meant in the final days of the rule when regular troops were out on the streets and protests became widespread they didn't shoot the protestors and Shah had to leave

 

[aviator_fan]

Thats right! Cause they are pussies!

Its perfectly fine for you to be jealous. While Russia tries to take a small town, US doctrine is about fighting two simultaneous theatres. Playing chess if you can neutralize the opponent with a few pawns, why would you be stupid enough to bring your queen and sacrifice it.

The energy costs in germany are more than tripled, the living costs (eating ect.) are more than double, more and more big corporations close partly or total, the newspapers are full of "blackout-stories".

I recently had to visit Germany, Denmark. People are sitting under heating lamps outside of bars in the dead of winter having beer so they can smoke outside. This is how people are living. THey are heating outside patios as if its 2020 cheap gas, just so they can smoke and drink at the same time.

This is just wasteful but also the illustration to make the point that Europeans haven't changed their lifestyles signficantly.

Playing chess if you can

Why should i play chess? Its 90% 2D....

 

[aviator_fan]

heating bills doubled this winter.

So you dont doubt about common people suffering West/Russia break up.

But that doesnt matter to classist brainwashed people.

Dont worry about the westerners where for average western european the gas bill is about 5-10% of their monthly expenditure. If you are concerned about impact on people than you should care about Syria, Lebanon, Egypt where the average person spends 30-40% of their wage on food bill and that food bill went up.

No. It's just because the west has no defense agreement or special financial interest in Ukraine.
Taiwan is another case, specially for USA.


Conquered ? Never.
Defeated? It's on track.

Russian track record of attacking neighbors (Finland, Afghanistan) is just as bad.

Even if Russia were producing 275.000 artillery shells per month, how does that correspond with the 20-60.000 used per day in this war?

maybe its really 275K shells a day? That's actually a good question tbh, but what we can still deduce is that Russia fires alot of shells per day- so yes, the million dollar question is this- where is Russia getting the shells from - its either Old stocks + Russian state defense prodUction or/and Imports from foreign states.

When it comes to Soviet/Russian ammunition like shells, Russia's allies can probably produce ALOT of them compared to US allies - North Korea and Iran together is a strong combination, but US is using Bulgaria mainly as its source of Soviet shells and shells ammunition production.

Maybe the russian nummerical artillery advantage is a little exaggerated considering how long this war has been dragging on.

or you're in denial about how Russia has been able to keep raining so many shells on Ukrainian troops all year round? Looks like Russia understands, and i mean this lterally too, some critical things about warfare. "NATO is advanced, well funded, well armed, nuclear options are available, their economies are worth $x, trillion..blah blah" - A military coalition of US and EU that JUST lost to Afghanistan recently.

Ukraine should be able to atleast take advantage of better range and precision,

thats alot to ask for an "at least"- u kidding>?? Ukraine's military logistics backbone is alreay broken, at least on the frontline, equipment reduces quickly and replacements will be slow..which railways will be used that arent already controlled or de-energized?

given the systems being provided to them.

lmao- NATO is already low on key ammunitions, and transporting these equipment safely and securely to the frontline is getting harder.

If Russia goes all the way close to LViv, then you know Russia is the baddest mudafukha to ever exist.

If all is going so well for Russians (according to plan that 5 months later , they MAY have a chance at a victory of a town thats destroyed and 90% of its population left, and Russians have unbelievable industrial capacity , and will teach Europeans a lesson, THAN WHY is there public infighting. I don't think there is a military in recent memory that publicly humiliates its own forces but with Russia anything is possible.

Kyiv says forces fighting on in 'utter hell' of Bakhmut battle

Ukraine said on Monday its troops were still fighting against the attempted encirclement of Bakhmut, while Washington said that even if the eastern city should fall to Russia's offensive, it would not necessarily give Moscow momentum in the war.

WAGNER ACCUSATIONS​

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner boss who sent tens of thousands of convicts recruited from Russian prisons into battle around Bakhmut, issued the latest in a barrage of statements that have deepened his rift with Russia's top brass.

Prigozhin said he had written a letter on Sunday to the commander of the Ukraine campaign "about the urgent need to allocate ammunition". On Monday morning he said his representative at operational headquarters had his pass cancelled and had been denied access.

There was no immediate response from the Russian Ministry of Defence. Since the start of this year, the Ukraine campaign has been commanded personally by Russia's top general, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Prigozhin claimed last week that his men had practically surrounded Bakhmut. But on Saturday he appeared in a video with a gloomier assessment, warning that the front would collapse should Wagner be forced to retreat - although it was not clear when the video was recorded.

He has accused ministry officials of "treason" for failing to supply adequate ammunition to his forces, something the ministry has denied.

A spokesman for Ukraine's 10th assault brigade, Mykyta Shandyba, told Ukrainian television "it was clear" Russian forces faced a shortage of ammunition that had limited their advances in Bakhmut.

However, he said Russia's attacks had intensified in recent days, with groups of 30 people trying to break through Ukrainian defence lines.

"They failed so far," he said.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, who has kept a low profile for most of the war, has been on a rare visit to his forces in Ukraine in recent days, awarding medals and meeting commanders. On Monday, he visited the eastern city of Mariupol, largely destroyed by Russian forces last year after a months-long siege.

CULMINATION POINT​

After losing ground throughout the second half of 2022, Russia launched a winter offensive of intense trench warfare, making use of hundreds of thousands of reservists called up late last year.

Apart from Bakhmut, Russia's offensive has produced no notable gains, failing to seize ground in Luhansk province further north and taking heavy losses in particular around Vuhledar to the south.

Kyiv, for its part, has focused mainly on defence for the last three months, trying to inflict high casualties while preparing for a counter-offensive when new weapons arrive and the muddy ground dries out.

The Institute for War Studies think-tank said it was still not clear whether Ukraine would pull out of Bakhmut or stay on to continue wearing down the Russian force. Either way, Moscow's offensive appeared to be reaching its high-water mark.

"The likely imminent culmination of the Russian offensive around Bakhmut before or after its fall, the already culminated Russian offensive around Vuhledar, and the stalling Russian offensive in Luhansk Oblast are likely setting robust conditions for a future Ukrainian counteroffensive," its researchers wrote.

The heating bill is not even 5% of monthly expenditure. You are right about people in places spending most on food are far worse off. Doubling heating prices in the West is no catastrophy, but doubling prices on food in a place where they already spend half their income on food is truely a catastrophy.

The end of Russia is near (again)
