Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

Guessing this will be the tactic for the entire year, since American support looks unlikely in the near future.

Stay on the defensive, inflict as much damage as possible to the attackers, retreat when ratio isn't favourable and repeat, it'll mean we'll see Ukraine losing ground this year but ground is just ground, it can be retaken, lives and equipment are more important. From every encounter we've seen like this, where Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is on the defensive, the Russian losses are almost always horrific in numbers.

Ukraine's offensive losses have been bad but on average not close to as bad as Russia's offensive losses.

But Russia has a lot of equipment so it'll take a while to see a noticeable impact.
