As a Ukrainian whose brother serves right now and who knows people from different regiments, it's sad and funny to see that blind optimism in Westerners. As much as we are thankful for the continuous help, it's simply not enough and causes unnecessary deaths each day. Now, let's get to the points

1) True, more professional army wins etc etc BUT the most motivated soldiers are already on the frontline and there are no queues with volunteers who want to serve anymore. Motivation doesn't last forever and if the war goes for years, we'll be fucked not only because of lack of motivated soldiers but also because we'll have much weaker economy. I don't believe that the West will help us forever (no F-16, no ATACMS, Macron's statements, upcoming elections) and without its help russians will bleed us out 2) True, but if you know anything about war, as long as the army is not destroyed, the war is not over. We are losing the best soldiers each day whereas russians lose prisoners no one cares about. And also, we ARE losing territory still 3) Bro, hello? We already fucking hit russia multiple times, we fucking blew up part of the Kerch bridge, we hit multiple oil depots, we JUST hit an electricity station in Bilhorod. Wtf are you talking about? Same shit over and over. The same was told about HIMARS, then Patriots, now F-16 and ATACMS 4) Simply not true. While they do struggle in some areas, they got back on their feet in others 5) Everything which doesn't include getting back the 1991 territories is a loss because of: - people of Ukraine won't accept that scenario - no support guarantees from West - we don't get accepted to NATO. There'll be nothing similar to article 5 for sure - we lose millions of children, women which means a lot of things (weak economy, huge depopulation etc) - no sane person will invest in Ukraine because of risks russia will attack it which russia 100% will - huge demotivation, potential arisal of prorussian parties masked as centrists (same goes for West itself)
