Yet Putin remains committed to waging a scorched-earth campaign in Ukraine. The Russian military has devastated several Ukrainian cities with artillery barrages, guided and unguided missiles launched from aircraft, long-range cruise missiles from naval vessels, and hypersonic missiles. Putin is attempting to turn the tide of the war in Moscow’s favor, as he did in Syria in 2015 and Chechnya in 1999—despite inauspicious starts.
The Russian military ground out victories in both cases. Moscow benefited from successful interdiction efforts to curb the flow of weapons and material to rebel fighters, a cowed local population, and effective information operations that complemented a punishing military campaign. But Moscow lacks all of these conditions today in Ukraine.
The Russian military has struggled to interdict the steady stream of weapons and material flowing into the country, failed to intimidate Ukrainians, and is losing the. Putin now has much to lose in Ukraine—including his legacy—if he fails to turn the tide of the war. So much is now at stake for Putin—with his military suffering staggering casualties, his economy in shambles, and his country increasingly isolated from the West—that he is likely to continue to escalate the war.
But Moscow can lose the war if the U.S. and its Western partners are able to increase the number and type of weapons to Ukraine over a sustained period. Economic and diplomatic steps will only be effective if Ukraine can hold off the Russian military on the battlefield. The Ukrainian military’s stockpiles have repeatedly run low—and will continue to do so over the course of the war. “We didn’t have enough in the first place,” said Vadym Prystaiko, Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.K., in late March. “Running out of weaponry will be seen in the week to come.”
SethGJones Addressing the governments of European countries, we have only one question: for greater determination, are you still waiting for the use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against Ukrainians? Do you want thousands of such photos to appear?😥 StopRussia StandWithUkraine

SethGJones Give them what they need
SethGJones Gee Wally, the record of countries backed by the US in proxy wars isn’t very promising. Korea is technically still at war. Vietnam, lost. Afghanistan, also a loss. Iraq?
SethGJones Ukraine needs a constant flow of military equipment & ammunition from the world's democracies in order to drive out totalitarianism.

SethGJones Zelensky to step down
SethGJones Why don’t you talk about the Hunter Biden’s laptop issue instead and maybe we will get to the root of the problem
SethGJones The best way to end this war , is that God sends Putin to hell . All devils are eager and waiting for him .
SethGJones Armament is better than the Russian army ....😜
SethGJones This is the collective imaginary in western cultures but to be honest I am afraid that Russia has only used the old weapons to render the current invasion, the modern ones has been spared for another kind of conflict. They have not deployed advanced military tech yet.
SethGJones 🇺🇦🙏🏼
