Russia Loses Edge: Ground War Stalls as Tech and Resources Fade

Russia is losing its military advantage in the war against Ukraine. Its ground forces are now bogged down in static combat, while its technological edge has faded. At the same time, Russia’s key resources—soldiers and oil revenue—are shrinking. Ukraine, by contrast, has built an innovative defense industry that keeps its army fighting. However, despite this support, Ukraine has not been able to switch to an offensive posture in ground combat. The war remains a grinding stalemate on land, with neither side able to break through.
