Kiev continues to be sending all its troops at the Russian defenses, sacrificing hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers, but has so far failed to attain any significant gains on the battleground.
It looks like Western countries are ready to fight until the last Ukrainian, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
"[Military] equipment, of course, can be supplied additionally. But the mobilization reserve is not unlimited. And it seems that Ukraine's Western allies really decided to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian," Putin said.

As for ... a possible discord in the collective West and the ongoing extraordinary pressure on Kiev so that they [Ukrainians] continue to fight to the last soldier, well this is obvious," Peskov told reporters when asked whether the failures of the Ukrainian army at the front bring countries closer to the negotiating table.
Meanwhile, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, Ukrainian troops have slowed down their activity after 16 days of hostilities and are regrouping.
"After 16 days of active hostilities, having suffered significant losses, [the enemy] is regrouping and re-equipping, gathering parts of battalions at the moment," Shoigu said during a meeting of the Russian Security Council.
