Trump is in talks with Russia to end the war

Is Russia rotating their troops?

Are they not tired, dieing and being injured?

I listen to a Russian guy in the know, supposedly, and he says Russia is sending their injured soldiers back to the front lines. Another report or rumour is that, the abducted Ukrainian children that have reached, what age do we guess at?, are also being sent to the front lines as well. And, another report or rumour, is that North Korean soldiers are being retrained to be able to deal with Ukraine's advanced war tech, because the NK soldiers were really only good for hand to hand combat, from what I could ascertain. So we may be seeing a new surge of NK soldiers, or not, depends on whether or not Kim gets something out of this war.

Oh. Looks like Ukraine does indeed have recruitment probs:

Russian troops are tired, dying and injured.
They are also being rotated and replaced.
And they are being supplemented with foreign troops.

Ukraine is not.
Or .. if they are .. we aren't hearing about it.

Ukraine does not have an unending supply.
Russia does.  Their own because they are much bigger, and other countries fighters.
This is why 'peacekeepers' in Ukraine would be armed and would end up carrying the weight
if an invasion came again or this one was to spread.

Mind you, Ukrainians are defending positions mostly, whereas Russian tactics seem to be throwing waves of expendables at them. At great cost of lives and injured.

Yes, but if the UK and others are willing to perform that role, what's your problem with that?

I think you are forgetting that if the European and UK boots on the ground are attacked their overwhelming air superiority would come into play so your scenario seems unlikely.

Well, more recently he is offering special contracts.

If he takes advantage of Turkiye's offer of peace keeping boots on the ground, they can
take over the non-combat positions, then more Ukrainian soliders for combat roles.

I watch front line podcasts where it appears to me that Ukraine is blowing the hell out of Russian resources, so who really knows?

I already said ... go ahead ....

You want to keep paying an unending supply of billions of $$$ to prop up Ukraine .. go ahead.
You want to send your own people to be troops to defend Ukraine in an unending war .. go ahead.
I already said this ... bunches of times.   It's your business if you want to do that.  Go ahead.

I said that I agree with (Democrat) obama ... what he said in 2014 the last time Russia invaded Ukraine ..
He said it's a regional war and between them, and it's up to Europe to go in because it's their back yard.

You've never been in the military, have you?  No.  Didn't think so.

Ukraine is a small country.   The ENTIRE country is the front line.  There is no safe back position.  'Peacekeepers' would be fully armed and combat ready.  They would be in the line of fire while there.   And you speaking of Turkey ... again ... Turkey which is run by Erdogan, who wants a world wide Islamic Caliphate with himself at the helm, and wants all the Jews dead ... you want him and his caliphate 'peacekeepers' to run Ukraine???   Yeah ... what could go wrong there?   Pffft.
