Ukraine has announced that it may need to draft all men under age 60 into the military. While we hear reports that Russia is "depleted" and near exhaustion, Ukraine is showing signs of being worse off. The percentage of military age males called up by Russia from their total population is far less than the 100% Ukraine is talking about.
We've been told that the 300,000 called up by Russia will be poorly trained and unable to do a first rate job. So it will be interesting to see how the armchair generals figure that the new Ukrainian draftees will be a formidable fighting force.
Despite the constant announcements that Russia is nearly out of weapons, they still seem to be shooting a lot.
Russia has lost more people, but they have more to lose. As always in the past, Russia has time and numbers on its side.

Quote:In June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that between 60 and 100 Ukrainian soldiers are dying on the battlefield every day due to Russian shelling.
He further disclosed that an average of 500 military personnel are wounded while defending critical infrastructure.
As of August 22, nearly 9,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed since Moscow launched its “special military operation” on February 24.
