Ukraine is forming a powerful and capable armed force - compared to the rest of NATO whose armies are far smller than Ukraine's (except for Turkey). The real question, however, is whether it is "powerful and capable" compared to the Russian military.Hint for the trolls: It's not. Which is why it's being annihilated. The reason it's taking a long time is three-fold: 1) it's had fortifications built over eight years, and 2) its size was so large to begin with, and 3) Russia only committed ten-fifteen percent of its forces for the first ten months.
The fortifications were reduced by that 10-15% of Russian forces, its size has been reduced from 600-700,000 to perhaps 300-400,000, and Russia has now committed 2-3 times as many forces as initially and now outnumber the Ukrainians both in manpower and hardware and technology.
Bottom line: Ukraine is just as doomed now as it was at the start of the war. I reiterate: It is a physical impossibility for Ukraine to defeat Russia, short of the West deploying nuclear weapons. Always was, always will be. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
