In March, Ukrainian drones destroyed 1,546 Russian military vehicles - a new record.
You have to wonder how long Russia, who is having trouble manufacturing such vehicles, can last. This war is seen as existential by Ukrainians. To ask them to "make peace" is to ask the impossible.

As explained earlier, Ukraine is poised for a win with its young, powerful, and easily recruited army. They have so many young and healthy recruits now that they don't know what to do with them!

Oh wait! Scratch that!

You have to wonder how much longer Ukraine will last, let alone win.

Winning was never the objective.

Ukraine score a personal best with a drone strike - a big one - 1100 miles from the Ukraine border.
Media reports that a Shahed drone factory was hit.
Unusual "drone". It looked like a small Cessna type. But it sure did the job.

Winning not the objective? Last summer, the Ukraine counteroffensive was meant to crack through the Russian defenses and advance to the Sea of Azov, cutting off the land corridor to Crimea. Then Crimea was slated to fall to Ukraine and then the Russians were to be chased out of the "stolen" Donbas back into Russia. That was the victory that was expected last summer. But of course that did not happen.

So yes, the Ukrainians have realized that kind of victory is not possible but they did envision that earlier. So they have had to downsize their expectations. But just trying to hold it together as a country is no longer possible either. Electrical outages are taking place all over Ukraine as the Russians continue their missile and drone attacks. Attacks on infrastructure are continuing. Once enough of the power generation systems have been taken out, Ukraine will basically grind to a halt.

The Russians have still not committed all of their military against Ukraine. As the warm weather starts to arrive in the next few weeks, there are strong indications that the Russians are going to be mounting powerful offensives all along the front that will finish the job of defeating Ukraine. The Ukrainians might think about dialing down their expectations again.

Of course, if the proper narrative is not followed then it is propaganda.

Ukraine still struggling with its military.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/02/europ...ntl/index.html

But of course, this is Russian propaganda distributed by CNN, a prime Putin propaganda site.

The new Russian Zircon hypersonic missiles have been deployed:

But of course this is on another Putin Russian propaganda site, so take it with a grain of salt.
