The largest percentage of losses, in that silly offensive, the Kiev regime had in those pockets in Zaporizhia.
Orahova, Rabotino, Verbove... a semi-encirclement where the Russians let them jump in and again built a mill.
What and how next? Sanctions that the West introduced to Russia (on which they relied a lot) had a miserable effect, at least when it comes to Russia. The EU already has a much harder time bearing them, and it is falling like a stone. Everything they need, Russia has at home, the EU does not.
I don't see what Zelensky can hope for, his army is largely "demilitarized", the state is empty, broken and beaten up. Maybe the West will send its army? They won't.
They would go to Serbia or similar, but not to Russia. Too dangerous for them.
And frankly, with the exception of the Poles, they don't even have an army. All this is more or less "make-up" or "make-belief", as the Western elites are accustomed for decades to be beating up on those far weaker than themselves. Zelensky's proxies were the best they had. At least the first two, three waves... They would be even better if the West did not train them. 😁
