Wtf ? Trenches ?? The ukrainian military hasnt even reached the damn defense lines of the russians yet, and they might never manage to do so.
And if there is ONE thing thats invincible in the west then its wishful thinking and not taking the russians seriously.
They wont take them seriously until the russians have won and will simply dictate terms.
Final part of the article:
I agree with that completely.

Translation (DeepL):
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal published an article describing the mass scale of injuries among Ukrainian soldiers, which is frightening.
The article stated that 50,000 or more Ukrainians have been amputated. It cites data from the German company Ottobock, the world's largest manufacturer of prosthetic limbs. [...]
The article says: "67,000 Germans and 41,000 Britons had to undergo amputations during the First World War, when the procedure was often the only way to prevent death."
The number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in this war is one of the best-kept secrets of the conflict. [...]
During the First World War, 880,000 British soldiers died, or 12.5 per cent of the country's deployed soldiers. If amputations among Ukrainian soldiers dwarf those in the UK during the First World War - when this procedure was far more common than today - it means that the death toll among Ukrainians is in the hundreds of thousands.
[...]
Julian Borger admits in the Guardian: "Hopes for a quick breakthrough proved too optimistic in the face of stubborn defences." He continues, "The first casualty of the Ukrainian counter-offensive was wishful thinking. Hopes that Russian troops would abandon their trenches and flee vanished into thin air on the battlefield."

Despite their talk of defending "self-determination", the US and the Nato powers see Ukrainians as cannon fodder in their conflict with Russia.The United States has sought to weaken Russia in a bloody war of attrition with the aim - in the words of US President Joe Biden - "to rubble the ruble".This was to be achieved by destroying a whole generation of Ukrainian youth whose lives are being wasted in the name of King Dollar.
I agree with that completely.
