I do look forward to a future where the West no longer relies on failed Russian and other autocrats, failed Latam states and Islamists for its energy needs. Russia is foolishly pushing us all in that direction, when fossil fuels will be as relevant as whale oil.

I suppose it also helps that there's likely two or three MANPADS in the UAF for every one Russian aircraft.It's a better season for logistics; the rainy season hasn't set in yet, and this last winter was mild enough that the ground wasn't frozen in March; it was muddy for the Russian offensive. This ground is dry and solid. now.
And -- my thinking is that the Ukrainians have a lighter logistical tail than the Russians due to interior lines. Combine that with nice, solid ground, and weakened, poorly-motivated Russian forces manning very long defensive lines. It won't be easy, and probably not completely successful, but I think the Ukrainians are doing the right thing by racing the autumn rains and pegging out claims before the weather shuts down mobile warfare for a few months.
