Citizens and businesses are leaving Russia, that's her entire message. We've only known that for weeks. You found this informative? Do you get news about what's going on from anywhere? You just like it because she pushes her hair back with her hands a lot.

She knows what's going on there, you don't.

That is where they have the advantage. Their country is already destroyed, civilians are evacuated (or in process to be), and men are at arms.

There is no more disruption that can be caused to Ukraine, there economy is for all intents and purposes already gone, they have one goal, and that is to fight. However, there is much disruption that we can inflict against Russia.

Russia wants peace now because their economy is bleeding, their losses are through the roof, their home population is discontent and suffering. Ukraine is in battle mode. Russia is in I can't believe this is still going on mode. Ukraine has the advantage, even if they lose another City, because every day that the battle goes on, the more damage is caused to Russia.

I have no problem with America subsidizing this (I mean we basically already subsidized their military before this conflict and nobody had an issue with it).

Think about it, the Russians have superior numbers, and on paper, superior equipment (if its not properly maintained or handled incompetently that is another issue, but they technically have the advantage), and yet they are 3X the casualties of Ukraine as far as soldiers. (Most Ukrainians who have died are actually civilians, the soldier to soldier ratio is heavily in favor of Ukraine several times over).

This shows that in close combat, the Ukrainian soldiers are far superior and have a huge advantage (And many of the soldiers on the front lines from Ukraine are not even "professional" soldiers, but Reservists or territorial defense, versus Russia where it is at least according to them all professional full-time soldiers). And, this is also factoring Russia is shelling into Ukraine (so a lot of their kills are indirect combat), Ukraine is not shelling into Russia. So all of these factors make their kill count that much more impressive. Russia has so many advantages, and they are still getting pummeled in direct combat to the point that it overshadows all of their other stats.

Really the only thing Russia has to be afraid of is Nuclear Weapons. But, this is stilly to be fearful. This war has demonstrated how weak their Army is, that at full force (and with an ally that shares the border on the victim country), they are still barely making progress.

So Ukraine needs to keep them draining people, so that sanctions keep increasing, which is an indirect way for Ukraine to cause damage to their civilian population and economy. You can sugar coat it, but Russia is in bad shape right now (both at home an in theatre). And, the longer that this last, the worst things will get for them, which is good for the world..... And, the more unhappy and chaotic the people at home in Russia get, also the better for the world.
