Putin is running out of soldiers. The evidence is mounting that russia is finally running out of soldiers:

1) Over half a million russian soldiers have already been killed in Ukraine.

2) Since mid-2023, the front has barely moved in either direction, while russian casualties have nearly doubled, from about 600 per day to at least 1,200.

3) Recruitment billboards started to appear in large russian cities, such as St. Petersburg. Such cities have been mostly spared the sight of coffins and prostheses. Not anymore.

4) Currently, russia has increased the compensation for new recruits to 1.3 million rubles. That’s a 650 percent increase (!) compared to 200,000 rubles that were offered two years ago.

Of course, Putin can force a mass mobilization. But that could lead to very negative unintended consequences.

First, event despite constant propaganda, many russians don’t believe anymore that russia can win this war – the promised quick victory in three days is already turning into three year with no end in sight.

Second, mobilization would create a civil unrest, leading to riots and mass exodus.

Finally, even if russia could mobilize several million people, they will not be able to equip them and the causality rate would only increase.

The best thing that we can do now is to give Ukraine everything we can to defeat russia once and for all.

We can not let Russia take Ukraine.
Look at East & West Germany. Or North & South Korea. What Country would you like to live in?
Russia is a Dictator state.

Staffan Beckett Even worst. I think more to Chinese Tibet.

Vaclav Pech

That’s the thing..

1) I believe the elite politicians (Trump, German politicians who were used to bribes from russian oil) do not wish defeated russia once for all

2) history has shown that it’s rather better to help heated superpower rise in controlled way than just leave it on its own, beaten to knees.

The real defeat Putin will face is the one imposed by his countrymen. Only Russians can overthrow him from absolute power. So the more of them die, the more they wake up and see the reality, hopefully.

Peter McKinstry

We have until November to give Ukraine everything and a free hand to defeat Russia. Before the potential of Trump selling out Ukraine and Western Europe to Putin.
If Ukraine falls, then the Baltic states will soon be under immense pressure with Russian incursions

Jon Sperry

There are about 59 million people aged 18-45 in Russia. If just 1% rebel there would be well over 500,000 people on the streets.

On the billboard “A REAL JOB”. That’s what russian culture is about. Killing your neighbor is a real job. Being an engineer, an accountant or a factory worker? No. Not proper positions for russian men.

Serge Lebid

The genocidal invaders must be permanently stopped as this is the time now in history for their ultimate destiny to be completely defeated.

I wish they “ran out” of their fascist leader.

Edit: hey, how about spreading the rumor that a mass mobilization is being contemplated, just so the potential cannon fodder do revolt?
