General Yuriy Sodol, in an address to the Ukraine parliament, said the following:
"On the Eastern Front the enemy outnumbers us by 7 to 10 times [my emphasis]. We lack manpower ... We are holding our defences but we are on our last breath."
The time to cut a deal with Russia is way overdue. If not done very soon the US and its allies like Australia are about to get a massive increase of blood on their hands. Especially if they keep funding the war. In lieu of an immediate peace agreement it might be better for Ukraine if their front line totally collapses asap.
