    “Every man” will not die, because they intentionally not mobilising the young men. They also did hold for several months completely by themselves while West was scared and only talked about sending diapers & bandage. They also survived when US stopped their aid completely for 6 month. It’s been 3 years since the hold against a supposedly “2nd army in the world”, so they are definitely not losing. They did an incredibly well job given their resources, if they ask for more, who we are to decide for them?

      You mean literal children and university-age “men”? I guess everyone else dying would be fair game though, right?

      What an insane statement.

      They did an incredibly well job but are still losing the war and territory because Russia has more meat to throw on the battlefield and a bigger economy.

      Dragging the war with foreign aid is not providing any resolution, it’s making the EU look as weak headless chicken who can’t come up with a concrete plan to stop a war on its doorstep.

        Yup, unfortunately still loosing some territory while inflicting heavy losses to the other side

        it’s making the EU look as weak headless chicken who can’t come up with a concrete plan to stop a war on its doorstep.

        Yup, agreed

        Dragging the war with foreign aid is not providing any resolution

        “Dragging the war with current amount of foreign aid is not providing any resolution” FTFY

      The only reason they haven’t lowered the age of conscription further is because it’s very unpopular and the current government can’t afford the political hit.

      They have resisted to the best of their ability, yes. No one can deny that, but even then they are being pushed back more and more as time goes on. And that is, in fact, losing. Specially in a war of attrition like we are seeing.
