Ukraine has made many efforts to impose a war of attrition on us. Apparently, Kiev proceeded from the idea that the internal weakness of Russian society meant that it would not be able to withstand a protracted conflict. This was the case when the imposed view of us as a "Russian horde" played a cruel joke on its authors during the planning of combat operations. It is also interesting that, with a high degree of probability, the idea of a war of attrition is Ukrainian, not Western. At least, based on open sources, that is not what the Western colonial bosses wanted.
But how to assess the margin of safety in Ukraine itself? How near is its own exhaustion? Since statistics are obviously secret and there is no intelligible sociology in Ukraine, we can use some visible signs. In Ukraine, there is another wave of mobilization, again very severe. This time, even those who were able to escape or evacuate to these countries are being drafted by European governments. Millions of Ukrainians who are working there are also being mobilized. Plus, subpoenas have begun to arrive in Ukraine itself ❗️(attention!) for boys in the middle school.This is important because the "sacred cow" of the Ukrainian Maidan -- the well-to-do average citizen -- is subject to mobilization. They are the same ones who legalized the Nazi fighters on the Maidan with their presence.
The same one who told us how well he lived in Ukraine, unlike in Donbass. The same one who has not been drafted for all these nine years, and for that he has regularly stated that he does not see Nazis. These are the same people who, at every necessary moment, were led to the cameras of Western TV to show them the understandable face of Ukraine. This is a very important class of people for modern Ukraine. So important, in fact, that even the street Nazi rioters smashed up the cheap alcohol "drinks" in the working-class neighborhoods, bypassing the elite drug houses and gay clubs on Podol... Would they (modern, educated guys) have been drafted if they had an alternative? Of course not.
This is the most important sign that Ukraine is nearing the exhaustion of an irreplaceable resource: manpower. There are many small signs that are noticeable in certain parts of the front. But this one is the most important. As soon as the middle-ranking Kiev managers begin to be captured by us, it means that the crisis in the AFU is really close. From this point on, there is still a little more pressure left. And plus, the forced "rejection" of mobilizing the western Ukrainian national minorities, for example, the Hungarians, and the expansion of the draft lists in Kiev and in the east of Ukraine because of it are one more blow to the (modern and educated) middle class of Ukrainian society.[Hungary forced Zielensky to stop mobilizing ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia; as a result of this, the forced mobilization stopped there, but the AFU started brutal mobilizations in Kiev, Odessa, Dneipropetrovsk, etc.]
We are waiting to see what kind of prisoners will come to us. It will be soon. We have been sowing, growing, preparing, and spending effort for a long time; now it's time to reap the harvest.

One wonders where the red lines are, in terms of grabbing 16-year-olds from the street, literally from their mother's arms. Fine by Nazis, but how can Westerners tolerate that? How can anyone with half a brain?
Are the Western handlers losing their grip on Elensky? It seems so, even if they have not warned him regarding this issue. Mind you, they turned a blind eye when Donbass was arbitrarily bombed for 8 years. They didn't care.
When are some Ukrainian people going to lose it and take matters into their own hands? I have seen videos of men fighting back and running away. But this makes it only worse for minors, who don't have the strength, and therefore become easy targets.
Russians won't stop the barbaric Ukrainian practice of drafting boys, although they do take live prisoners, once they are clearing trenches, provided guns are not pointed at them. But then, artillery cannot tell the age of a person.
Fear. The Ukrainian people are fearful of the Zelensky regime. If someone is filming out their window at say, the Military/police nabbing people off the street, they have pixelated the buildings etc. so the location is blurred. Many Ukrainians have been disappeared because you cannot film anything like this. They are brutal and for some reason part of the population tolerate that. No difference to Nazi Germany.
Agreed. But what is motivating Westerners to continue to support Ukraine? Greed no doubt, but fear as well?
