With Russia funding its war effort through financial gains from the close of the Strait of Hormuz, and amping up attacks while Trump’s eye is turned towards the Middle East, experts tell Maira Butt that this is a very delicate moment for Ukraine
Last week was the deadliest week of the Russian war for Russians so far in 2026, their spring assault is a slaughter for them, Ukraine is doing amazing, Slava Ukraine
Enemy at the gates is not a documentary, and that scene is very much not historically accurate. The actual history is significantly more complicated.
I don’t think the comparison to the soviets is needed at all. I think the incompetence of the Russian army stands by itself. And unless this new offensive somehow turns things around, I think that Russia’s forces will continue to get fucked for the foreseeable future.
The scene might be fictional, but Russia did use human wave assaults in World War II. These were effective in the latter part of the war. Whether it will result in the gains Putin wants in Ukraine remains to be seen.
Oh I wasn’t saying that Zelensky will sacrifice them. I’m saying the ratio is much smaller than what others think. Ukraine is 1/4 the population of Russia. Also, each Ukrainian is worth 100,000 Russians

Yes, but Putin is willing to sacrifice his troops just as Stalin in World War II because Russia has far greater manpower. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8fWp-i-BGA&t=26s

It is 1 to 4 population difference so not the biggest difference.
Putin might be willing to sacrifice his people, but Zelensky cares more.
