In a war of attrition the war is won by grinding the other side down until they lose their will to fight. This is what Putin and the Russians are attempting to do to the Ukrainians.

And they probably will do it too, because Ukraine just can’t take on Russia themselves. The things they’re getting is no where near enough to expel Russia. They needed all these things years before Russia invaded. They need to be able to replace losses immediately, and they can’t.

Russia has the manpower and will to win a war of attrition. They don’t care about their own men’s lives, or having outdated equipment. They have the numbers of soldiers and don’t even have anything to worry about with that right now. The people of St. Petersburg and Moscow aren’t feeling the effects of the war, and those are the only people’s opinions who matter in Russia. Their best soldiers and groups aren’t being used much yet. They still have plenty of Chechens and rural Russians to use for this war. Plenty of peasants.

They can produce equipment and get it out on the battlefield, and can replace their losses faster than Ukraine can. Doesn’t matter if it isn’t on par with Western equipment, when it’s Ukrainians using the Western equipment. Russia can rely on themselves while Ukraine has to rely on other countries. Ukraine is in trouble. They don’t have enough to stop an aggressive Russian offensive that’s begun. Doesn’t matter if Russia could have issues with their military logistics in a year, because this war will be over by then. Russia will ensure it never gets to that point. They’re about to overwhelm and put too much pressure on Ukraine, for Ukraine to overcome. It’s about to be an ugly summer.
