    It’s not me claiming it, it’s Budanov saying it, but surely you know better https://kyivindependent.com/wars-are-not-won-without-people-budanov-warns-of-mobilization-crisis/

    He certainly doesn’t seem to think the war is in a stalemate, but what does he know right?

    Meanwhile, seems like the EU is just as worried given that EU has banned all Russian media, while western media is not banned in Russia, and now EU keeps trying to ban encryption with chatcontrol. Why is that, let’s apply your own logic here.

      You can’t deny the reality on the ground right now, neither side can do much due to drones, Ukraine has had the edge the last few months. Russia is tightening its grip on the communication infrastructure of the country because they know what’s coming as the domestic situation in Russia deteriorates.

        Between us and this Budanov guy, who do you think is more familiar with the reality on the ground?

        The reality on the ground is that Ukraine is running out of manpower as Budanov openly admits. That means Russia is winning through attrition. Why is the EU tightening its grip on communication, why does the EU ban Russian media when Russia doesn’t ban western media? What is the EU afraid of?

        Sounds like the EU is tightening its grip on the communication infrastructure of the country because they know what’s coming as the domestic situation in EU members deteriorates. Which certainly is supported by the fact that all the governments in major European are polling under 20% while nationalist parties are rapidly growing in popularity. The AfD becoming the biggest party in Germany certainly doesn’t sound like all is well to me.
