Ukraine has more than enough man power so that would be a dumb strategy. What they lacked during the initial invasion were modern weapons, we just handed them a couple trash cans of garbage last Gen weapons and look what they’ve been able to do![]()
Don’t disagree , but Russia had 3-4x the military . Now you need 2-3x to overtake a country. Russia is huge and not all military is deployed into Ukraine as they also need to defend their borders and wide areas .
So while you say it’s a dumb strategy . It keeps the pressure and Ukraine to waste time and resources on basically cannon fodder. It’s another element of Russia trying to put financial pressure on nato and Ukraine. They will probably have a huge effort in the spring - if Putin lasts that long.
That’s the only thing to make sens
