Unfortunately the good news is only temporary. European capacity to continue to supply Ukraine with essential equipment and materiel is zero and the ultra-right US Republican Party is clearly going to prevent any further aid from being sent to Ukraine. This means that before the end of this year, Ukraine will be back to its previous situation: starved of essential support. As Russia has a nearly inexhaustible supply of meat to throw into the grinder, it means attrition is ultimately on Russia's side. We need to remember that in the long VietNam war, US commentators kept reporting "unsustainable" North VietNamese losses and showed clearly that North VietNam would collapse in the next few months. These reports continued until days before the USA hurriedly pulled out of Saigon and North VietNam took over the entire country. Ukraine deserved our support but instead we did almost nothing.
