Ukraine War Becomes a Contest of Endurance

Ukraine War Becomes a Contest of Endurance

Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for a long time without either side winning decisively.

The war began with large movements of troops but has become slower and more difficult.

Soldiers now use trenches, mines, artillery and many kinds of drones.

Drones and satellites can find targets, so putting many soldiers or vehicles together can be dangerous.

Ukraine attacks targets deep inside Russia, while Russia attacks Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

Both sides must constantly replace weapons, ammunition, equipment and trained soldiers.

Russia may be hoping that Ukraine’s supporters eventually become tired of providing help.

Ukraine and its supporters are trying to show that they can continue helping for as long as necessary.

The article says future wars may be decided by endurance rather than by a quick opening victory.
