As much as 70% of the Ukraine military is already wiped out. NATO says 60%.
They can’t just restock with fresh recruits. This isn’t the Middle Ages where you just pass out swords to teenagers and have them kill each other for your amusement.

Russian forces together with those from the Donetsk People’s Republic have taken over the Ukrainian town of Liman, Russia’s Defense Ministry has claimed. On Thursday, Alexey Arestovich, a key adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, admitted during a livestream that Ukrainian forces had lost the town.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov announced on Saturday that Liman had been “fully liberated from Ukrainian nationalists.”
Just before Ukraine admitted the fall of Liman, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba described the situation in Donbass as “extremely bad” for Ukrainian forces during his meeting with Western allies at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
Zelensky, meanwhile, hinted during a video call at the WEF that he could now be willing to sit down for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While describing the Russian head of state as delusional, Zelensky noted that he was still the only Russian official worth talking to. According to the Ukrainian president, if Putin “is able to realize” what Zelensky called the reality, “then, probably, we may try and go the diplomatic way, unless it is too late.”
Who’s delusional, you little Jew dwarf? You’ve gotten thousands of people killed and entire cities destroyed by claiming you could win a war against Russia.
What reality does Putin need to realize? You’ve got no cards here. The only possible logical course of action is to offer an unconditional surrender.
When asked for comment on Zelensky’s latest statement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow doubted that the Ukrainian leadership was really willing to negotiate peace. The Russian official pointed out that “the talks have been frozen after a decision by and in accordance with the stance of the Ukrainian side.”
Peskov also claimed that Ukrainian top officials were in the habit of constantly making “statements that contradict each other, which makes it impossible to fully understand [their] intentions and whether [they are] ready to take a sober approach and acknowledge the real state of affairs.”
Meanwhile, on Friday evening the Ukrainian president’s office published a video address by Zelensky in which he commented on the latest advances of Russian forces. However, the president insisted that “Donbas will be Ukrainian,” vowing to retake the region by force.
He takes wildly differing positions, often on the same day – you see that here. He told the WEF he’d be willing to negotiate with Putin, then days later released a video saying he was going to invade Russian-controlled territory. This is some kind of strategy against someone, apparently, but I can’t really understand who the target of it would be other than the domestic Ukraine population. Everyone else just thinks he’s a lying Jew weasel and nothing he says means anything at all.

With whose army is he going to do this? Maybe he’s breeding super-soldiers in the Hunter Biden biolabs? That would be an interesting twist.
All this having been said: while things are going very poorly in the Donbass, the Ukrainians are making serious inroads against Austrian taxi drivers.
Then two groups of presumably Ukrainians came out of them & beat up two other men. Judging by the footage, one of the victims could even be unconscious when the attackers threw him to the side of the road. A few seconds later, the bandits immediately disappeared from the spot

Ukrainian publics write that the attackers are from Dnepropetrovsk.

Decent fighting. Definitely a lot better than what we’re seeing in the Donbass. Though it makes sense that Zelensky would deploy his most elite forces on the Austrian front to try to cripple the taxi industry.
Many Ukrainians now admit that the war in the east of the Ukraine is lost, and they are now focusing on trying to destroy Austrian taxi drivers.
