From 2014 on the US did good work in training special forces for Ukraine. They’ve proven to be invaluable. I wish we were doing more to help train the new soldiers being folded into the Ukrainian forces. Either fly some here, or train in Romania, Poland…
They might have. But, they are slogging away for kilometers, and I’m not so sure they can hold what they have taken. Not without a mobilization.Russia claims it has captured the pivotal city of Lysychansk in eastern Ukraine

I was wondering how many the West was training too. There was the multi national training area in Western Ukraine that was attacked by Russia earlier. And we know Ukraine troops are being trained in Germany and the UK but those may be mainly learning how to use NATO equipment.

Looks like Slovakia has a dozen Mig 29s. Great news.

Slovakia asked its NATO allies to patrol its skies as it decided to ground its Russian-made MiG-29 fighter jets, which could be sent to neighbouring Ukraine to help Kyiv defend itself against Russia's invasion.

Agree on the huge cost….
Permanent part depends on a lot of factors….still to be determined.

Was just thinking the same thing….
Western leaders say “as long as it takes”……that’s going to be put to the test and I’m pretty pessimistic on that front
Sobering take along these lines…Ukraine needs time. Hope they get it.
The only ones that thought this would be a short war were the Russians and some sympathizers from other countries. They were wrong.
They weren’t the only ones…
U.S. intelligence agencies review what they got wrong on Russia's invasion of Ukraine

This could easily go on another 2 years. There might not be too many Russian separatists left in the eastern Ukraine after that. They’re sustaining super heavy casualties as the Russians are using them as fodder
This. It was supposed to be over in a week with
yep. Victory March in Kyiv in one week turned into taking over Donbas by Mayday Parade has turned into temporary victory of 1/3 Donbas in July. After massive losses by Russia. If we assume this is a proxy war, it is going amazingly well for NATO as Russia is exposing themselves for being terrible country and inept army and destroying said inept army. Putin ****ed up so bad.
