Is Ukraine running out of soldiers?
Video Summary
A common question asked about the Ukraine-Russia war is whether Ukraine can sustain its losses in the long run. Casaulty numbers for Russian soldiers range from 60,000 to 300,000, while estimates for Ukrainian casualties stand at 70,000 killed and 100-120,000 wounded. Some worry that Ukraine’s population, at just 40 million, might be too small to absorb such losses. However, Ukraine has a large pool of potential soldiers, with over 20 million men and women eligible for military service. If only one-quarter of these individuals are fit for duty, that’s 10 million potential soldiers. This means Ukraine has a significant buffer against losses and can continue to sustain its military efforts. The war is ultimately a contest of wills, with Ukraine showing a greater willingness to accept losses and endure suffering. While Ukraine faces challenges in replacing experienced soldiers with inexperienced recruits, it is not running out of soldiers. Instead, it needs support for training and education to overcome these challenges.
