And yet Russia is sending older and older equipment from storage to the front (tanks made in the 1970s and earlier) and buying drones and ammunition from Iran and North Korea because it doesn’t have the resources to replace what it’s using just to remain largely static in Ukraine.
Your argument doesn’t support your conclusion that a negotiated peace on the present lines is Ukraine’s best outcome. On the evidence of what Russia is able to deploy, use and replenish, Ukraine’s best strategy is an attritional one.
