Yeah, and I don't feel good about painting a pessimistic picture of things. But this whole thing is about math. Russia has the numbers, they have more advanced weapons system. They have the initiative and Ukraine isn't going to be able to gain that unless they're willing to give up territory for speed and to stretch out the Russians.
I don't doubt the resolve of the Ukrainians fighting and dying today. But even a few days of combat operations like this and knowing that besides some material help that might not arrive until its too late, there's really no solid help or relief coming is going to really hurt moral.
