- Ukraine is suffering from a growing military manpower crisis in addition to a lack of arms and ammunition;

- Trained military manpower takes up to half a year to produce, new brigade-sized units can take up to 30 months to stand up;

- Ukraine and its Western sponsors simply cannot produce trained military manpower faster than Russia is removing it from the battlefield;

- This leaves the collective West with the choice of either accepting it has lost its proxy war with Russia, or attempting to intervene more directly;
