Besides timber the no.1 reason is agricultural land

And to many developing countries. A growing number of them are refusing now.

At best UKR will be able to maintain a stalemate with RUS.

RUS is tapping into alternatives to get what they need and want. Which for the most part is currently working out.

UKR relies heavily on the US-EU for funding and support. That support is inconsistent and will fluctuate but will mostly remain relatively standard or low unless something media worthy happens.

When and how much they’re are funded depends on public opinion and the media, whose interest changes.

eg. Afghanistan with the Afghan women and girls, and how support is significantly being redirected to Israel-Palestine conflict.

No surprise.

1st year of most wars RUS is in. They’re crap in but afterwards they become a force to be reckoned with.

US-EU should have given UKR all the military equipment that UKR requested in the beginning instead of it being slowly given.
