    nationalists

    I call them that because that what they call themselves.

    lack of quality

    both are post soviet militaries with identical doctrine. Ukraine has less resources to maintain their military industry, and has not even converted to a militarization plan for the economy. The NATO supplies given to Ukraine go through embezzling and black market before the bare bones make it to the front-lines. The Militia and higher military command aren’t trained for using NATO equipment, which takes years due to the weaponry made for different methods of attack.

    So you’re agreeing Russia is winning?

      Nobody wins in a conflict like this, which is why it’s so morally reprehensible that Russia attacked Ukraine. Russian nationalists, mind you.

      It’s not that Russia will win “the war”. It already failed its major objectives, which look like they’ll never succeed, that is to occupy Kyiv and reinstall a puppet government loyal to Moscow. They can probably still get away with taking Donbas, I assume.

      Ukrainian and Russian forces are not equal, nonetheless.
