I know they will lose a lot and attacking is obviously much harder but I also see how many fortified positions Russia has (Tokmak alone is crazy). It seems as if it will take some time to even reach Tokmak and if Ukraine will lose already a bunch of their modern tanks and IFVs before they even reach Tokmak (and that's still not Mariupol), it just doesn't look as good to me as for everyone else... if Ukraine would only need to break through this first line but Russia has build this shit everywhere now because we gave them this time.
And I also wouldn't think so much about it if I would know that the next 100 modern tanks are already on the way. But I am not sure if countries like Spain or Portugal will even send more in the future. Poland gave so much already not sure if they have much left they can do. And Germany abandoned their own military so much the last decade(s) that we don't even have many tanks which even work properly...and like I said, even replacing those 18 Leo 2 Germany sent will take until 2025...the production of new modern tanks is just so damn slow...
I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling that it's even harder as Ukraine and the supporters thought. Even if they won't say it obviously.
And now I stop with my pessimism lol. I'm still sure Ukraine will succeed.
