Moscow’s advantage on the Ukraine battlefield is waning, experts say. But President Donald Trump seems disinclined to ramp up pressure on the Kremlin to engage in ceasefire talks.
Russia’s battlefield strength in Ukraine has started to wane and it could run into serious shortages of manpower and weaponry by next year, even as President Donald Trump retreats from pressure on Moscow to end the war, according to senior U.S. and European officials and military experts.
In recent days, Trump appears to have abandoned the threat of harsh financial sanctions he repeated as recently as two weeks ago if Moscow doesn’t agree to a ceasefire with Kyiv. Instead, after a two-hour phone call Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he touted potential new trade deals with Russia.
Rather than the U.S. leadership he promised, Trump has mused that he might just walk away and leave the negotiations to the Europeans — perhaps even the new pope — to sort out. His administration has not committed to additional military or financial aid to Ukraine.
But the timing for putting pressure on Moscow may be more advantageous now than at any point since the early days of the conflict, according to more than a dozen officials who discussed the current state of the war and the sensitive politics and diplomacy surrounding it, most on the condition of anonymity.
Absent a negotiated settlement or “robust” Western assistance, the war “probably will continue to slowly trend in Russia’s favor through 2025,” according to a U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency assessment presented to Congress 10 days ago by DIA Director Lt. Gen Jeffrey Krause. But Russian gains “are slowing and continue to come at the expense of high personnel and equipment losses.”
Since its February 2022 invasion, the DIA assessment said, Russia has “lost at least 10,000...s.”

You’d be doing me a favor.

No worries. The Europeans will carry full burden of Ukraine victory using the muzzie population for soldiers and contributing more EURO’s to NATO.
The Europeans are really funny.
Chuckle.

I made a comment. How is a comment considered stalking?
For the second time I politely request that you either file a complaint to have me banned or stop stalking me.
I would guess that all Russian soldiers carry a trenching tool or folding shovel.
With training and a razor sharp edge.
Will use it to fight to the nearest dropped rifle or ammo.
Yes but it was because they were running low on ammo it was claimed
Russian reservists could be using “shovels” for “hand-to-hand” combat in Ukraine due to a shortage of ammunition, the UK’s Ministry of Defence says.

And the Russian strategy is to take small hamlets or ridge lines....then use them to cut Ukraine supply lines to major cities...followed by encirclement of the cities....Russia playing the long game.
Lol.
Look outside before you type, idiot.
No, he is done with both sides
Trump prowling around at a meeting of the G7 is analogous to a n African Lion prowling around in a cage of bunny rabbits.
The Kyiv independent just ran an article about this and posted on Twitter
I’m sure the Ukrainian people get fed this garbage daily

When he was talking about Russian military production increase and capacity when the western media was saying Russia was running out of stuff (he ended up being right)
Good daily summary of European media and thinking
And how the west is unrealistic about Ukraine
I am not stalking you and you know it, so stop accusing me of doing so.

RE: Trump softens on Putin as Russia’s military edge weakens, officials say

Another massive Russian drone and ballistic missile attack is being carried out against Ukraine tonight

If their military edge is weakening, how to explain this latest ballistic missile attacks?
