President Putin of Russia informs the media about the progress of the war:
"The gap between the enemy's losses and the number of troops they can send to the front is growing larger."
Ukrainian armed forces suffered 47,500 casualties in October. Through conscription, they recruited 16,500 people, and another 14,500 returned to duty from hospitals. The gap is approximately 15,000 people."
Even if these military achievements are all real, it cannot be said that the Russian military has the combat power expected earlier. At the beginning of the war, it was predicted that the war would end within a week, at most a month. Now, it has been almost four years, and have the war expectations been realized? It is still far from being achieved. A single Red City has not been completely captured in a year. When will it be captured? It is still unclear now.
Of course, the Russian military is facing not just Ukraine, but also the transatlantic Western bloc including the United States. However, if it were not for the weak performance, a quick victory could not have dragged on until today. Yet this is not the end. How long this war will last is really hard to say now. If Trump's latest peace plan fails, the Russia-Ukraine war will drag on for a long time, even leading to a war across the entire Europe. Germany has already deployed troops along the border, with a total force exceeding 800,000.
A country fighting against 27 countries (excluding Hungary and Slovakia), this is indeed a huge test for Russia.
