I am amazed by the type of warfare and the relative slow speeds of front-line shifts.
Compare to previous wars in recent history. This is almost a WW1 style conflict.

I suspect things will start changing soon as the effects of Ukraines lack of military supplies and men enters the equation in parallel to Russia's transition to a war time economy which is now starting to bear fruit. This summer will be very hard for Ukraine as Russia will liberate a lot of terrority. We can see that the start of that in Kharkiv which may be liberated from occupation in the next few months.

After decades of feminism, men are more meek compared to before. Nowadays only 5% of men are willing to kill other men. So both sides face severe manpower shortage. In WW1 millions of men volunteered to join the army. Today only a few hundred thousand men are willing to fight in Donbas.

For all the yapping the Russian bootlickers have done the last 7 months, Russia has gained less territory than Ukraine did during its counteroffensive last year.

I’m saving this one.

Russians took a portion of Donbas bigger than Taiwan, Israel. That's good enough for Russians.

Considering Americans can't even stop Mexican illegal immigrants, Americans definitely cannot stop Russian illegal immigrants.

Yep, the only difference is scale I mentioned . Ww1 reached attrition stalemate because both sides had no means to remove the siege munitions at the rear. Artillery had the ability to hit targets at a range that infantry couldn't touch. This led to the stalemate. Losing thousands of units per day until stalemate. Here is the same way. Both sides don't want to lose expensive infantry. People are not cheap anymore. The Russians want to limit their own casualties to an absolute minimum which is why you don't see 5k strong forces pushing towards small towns the size of a street block. They also chose to limit civilian collateral as well which is why they didn't try levelling huge chunks of Ukraine the way the us did Iraq and Afghanistan. The Ukrainians on the other hand have a vastly smaller manpower pool to create the pushes they need to and Logistics. I live in the UK and am constantly comparing how the military movements would correlate with the area I live in. It would be very similar (the fighting style) just massively more challenging due to scale. Too many buildings, large towns, close together, and plenty of partisan interventions by the general civilian population. Anyway, it's going to continue to be a frontline crawl until Ukraines military completely collapses. I know if NATO became truly involved and brought militaries in to fight things would be far more "energetic" until nato military supplies stall. The only way I see Ukraine to "win" is with a nato blitzkrieg type intervention but even with that the outcome isn't guaranteed considering the limitations of nato and the US currently.

These days drones is the most important factor in war. Unlike men who are limited in numbers, drones are not limited in numbers. Drones can be built in the millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions. Even if there are only 100,000 evil men who are willing to kill other men, millions of drones operated by 100,000 evil men can wipe out millions of men in a short period of time.
