The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has now entered its fourth year. With the extension and advancement of the war, Russia's overall strength and "blood trough" advantages have gradually emerged. In the face of the Russian army's fierce offensive, the Ukrainian army is facing the difficulty of insufficient troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is the actual pressure of the reduction of US and Western aid. In this case, the Russian army can be said to have fought more and more bravely. On the contrary, the Ukrainian army has recently lost its troops and suffered heavy losses.

Recently, the Russian army has achieved great victories in the "Summer Offensive". According to Gerasimov, Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, in less than half a year since March to the present, the Russian army has successfully captured as much as 3500 square kilometers of land, including 149 settlements. Moreover, the Russian army has grasped the strategic initiative on the Russia-Ukraine front line, while the Ukrainian army is in a passive situation.

In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense also showed in detail videos of the Russian military's military operations in spring and summer, including the specific distribution of areas controlled by the Russian military. The Russian army has seized so much land that it can indeed be said that it has achieved a great victory. That in itself is already a fantastic win. However, the victory of the Russian army lies not only in the seizure of a large amount of land, but also in the successful elimination of a large number of effective Ukrainian troops.

According to the battle report released by the Russian Ministry of Defense on August 29, the Ukrainian army's losses in the conflict in the past week (from August 23 to 29) have exceeded 8,850 people. In the direction of Dniprovsk-Donetsk alone, the losses of the Ukrainian army have reached more than 2,700 people, including a German-made Leopard tank and 34 vehicles including 11 NATO-made armored vehicles. Armored fighting vehicles.

At this point in the war, the biggest problem of the Ukrainian army is actually the lack of troops. Although the current Russian army's advancement speed seems not fast, as long as the Ukrainian army's loss of troops reaches a "critical point", then the Russian army may be able to rely on its military superiority to open a hole in the long Russian-Ukrainian front of more than 1,000 kilometers. At that time, the Ukrainian army is likely to face a situation of "defeat like a mountain", and the Russian army will seize a large area of land in a short period of time and eliminate a large number of Ukrainian troops.

According to the Russian media Itar News Agency, which has a certain influence, the Ukrainian army has a serious shortage of personnel in the direction of Kharkiv, so it has turned to defense. It can be seen that as long as the war lasts for a while, the problem of insufficient troops of the Ukrainian army will become more obvious. NATO has been hesitant to directly send ground troops to assist Ukraine, which makes it almost difficult to alleviate the problem of insufficient troops of the Ukrainian army. The comparison of troops is likely to become the key winner and loser of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Russia's hundreds of thousands of troops will eventually give the Ukrainian army a fatal thunderbolt.
