Then I'm afraid that it won't end until the Ukrainians run out of manpower. It seems to me that the Russians have heavy artillery, working supply lines and patience. I'm saddened by stories reportedly from Ukranian soldiers lamenting their lack of equipment and effective defensive positions.

But do they have working supply lines? They don't seem to do well with supply lines within hostile territory.

no one has totally secure supply lines in hostile territory, do you think if ukraine invaded crimea (which is 90% ethnic russian) that they wouldn't have the same problem? Even then, Russia has systematically reduced the Ukrainian nationals in number, and slowly built incredibly dependable supply. Ukraine can barely even use the NATO aid it is given

Plenty of proud Ukrainians are ethnically Russian. Plenty of Russian nationals, ethnically Russian, do not support Putin

And I proudly call them all stupid for siding with fascists.

I sure hope so, the leading opposition to putin is the Soviet Communist Party, and this war has increased their numbers drastically
