Ukraine has a lot of reasons to fight.

I think that spirit is failing, obviously there are a lot of genuine Ukrainian nationalists, and there were lot volunteers when the war started in 22.

The problem is that the supply of volunteers has dried up, and that’s both a demographic and morale issue. A sense of despair has set in. People don’t believe in victory, and people believe serving is a death sentence.

The people I’ve traded messages with think it’s over.

At a certain point, the losses are too costly to hold onto a population that will fight from now until forever

There was a clip a couple of months back of an ultra nationalist who complained that you couldn’t trust the civilians in Kharkov because they’d rat you out to the Russians. You can see the same thing in Odessa. The locals appear to be giving the Russian a lot of targeting information.

So in Lviv, yes, in other regions. I don’t think so.
