At this rate I think 2024 is going to be a regroup, reequip and hold the line year, with the big push for Crimea being in 2025.Pentagon: Ukraine Expected to Employ F-16s in 2024

I suspect the article is correct - he's seen as a 'safe' alternative for the upcoming sham elections. Putin's cronies believe he can be a manageable face of the opposition to give a (thin) veneer of respectability. Otherwise, he'd be falling out of a window momentarily. Still, beware of unintended consequences......

I doubt that Ukraine have any other option. They are clearly running low on Ammo, men and equipment. I see two key points
a) will Ukraines morale hold out
b) can they keep inflicting losses on Russia so Russia doesn't build up a strategic reserve

Send those Turkey Vipers to Ukraine.
I just don't get the Hungarians, Slovaks and Turks. Don't they understand that if Ukraine is defeated that they'll be next. I get it, these leaders like to act tough, want to play whatever leverage they perceive they have, but jeez.

After Sweden enters but I'm sure Erdogan has a codicil in place for that.

Ukraine Situation Report: Artillery Ammo Crisis Giving Russia Major Advantage
With U.S. aid running dry and Europe unable to meet commitments, Ukraine is finding itself badly outgunned.

This sounds dramatic, but they are not factoring in "lag time" between allotments.Ukraine Situation Report: Artillery Ammo Crisis Giving Russia Major Advantage
With U.S. aid running dry and Europe unable to meet commitments, Ukraine is finding itself badly outgunned.
Yes, the current bill hasn't passed, but the length of time between bill passage and the consignment to ship munitions to it's destination takes time.
In other words, the U.S. aid package passed in December has most likely not even been received in Ukraine yet.
Ordering artillery shells for Ukraine is not like ordering from Amazon Prime, with next day delivery.
Once the bill is passed, the GSA processes the cut order and it's passed to the assigned depot, who has to verify stock and pull the designated quantity. Then it has to be prepped for transfer and put into the logistics pipeline.
This takes months, not hours.

Sure but that with the production failures also could make a shell squeeze in Ukrainia in the coming months.
