Thank you, Thomas. One thing that the Russian side has working for it is their "propaganda battalion" used to whittle away NATO support for Ukraine: I see that that as attrition of a different sort. NATO is of course Ukraine's lifeline, providing supply-lines for money, weaponry, intelligence, moral support -- everything except flesh-and-blood fighters and second echelon support, apart from small numbers of volunteers.
If Russian propaganda is effective by building opposition to supporting Ukraine (a la some MAGA Republican proposals), do you think it would tilt the battlefield in Russia's favor?
