PUTIN'S troops are outnumbered by Ukraine who can muster "up to ONE MILLION men" as Russia's disastrous invasion passed its 100th day.
The Russian dictator's troops invaded Ukraine on February 24, and in the weeks and months since the conflict began, more than twice as many Russian soldiers have died than in the 10 years of the Soviet-Afghan War.
But now an expert claims the conflict has reached a "state of attrition" - with Russian forces severely outnumbered after 100 days since the sick invasion of Ukraine began.
Swedish economist and Russia expert Anders Aslund told The Sun: "At the 100-day mark, the war is at a stalemate."
He went on: "Ukraine has all the soldiers it can possibly need. It can mobilise up to one million men.
"Russia, on the other hand, has a shortage of soldiers. Because this is not technically a war, Putin cannot legally send in conscripts.
"They are sending in more troops anyway, but they get around this by calling them contractor soldiers.
"However, if Putin did try to change the law, to force conscription, there would be massive opposition. For Ukraine, on the other hand, they will soon run out of ammunition and heavy artillery.
"Russia has piles and piles of artillery. Even though they have lost a lot of armed vehicles, tanks, and airplanes, this has now become an artillery war."
Poster Comment:
Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter claims the kill ratio for Russia to Ukraine is at a 10 to 1 basis. This is a war of attrition. And now I hear that Russia will allow over 40-year old troops to be deployed into Ukraine. Plus, Ukraine has used older Soviet HIND helicopters and have struck a Russian fuel depot inside Russia and set it ablaze. Where is the vaunted Russian air defense?
