Frozen implies a lack of movement. Here we have a waterfall blasting a boulder until it breaks. The conflict is hot, people are dying, the Russians have another offensive imminently planned. We're going to get a resolution one way or the other.
tend to agree. Russia has conscripted 500,000 more men, Ukraine has not. 500,000 is alot, but not enough to seize all of Ukraine. while there will be events this year, it is not going to be over this year. My view is Ukraine will be in a terrible position by the end of the year (or else Nato involvement and then we are all FUBAR).

1: I´ve openly said, i doubt kill rate is higher than 1,5:1 in russian favour, probably both are close to 1:1. Despite clear advantage in terms of weapons i still think deathrates are similar because Russians have been on the offensive far longer in total.
2: i doubt dead are 100.000 on each side, probably closer 55-75 ish.
this is the (broad) ratio / numbers that the US is also quoted as stating.
