    Ukraine must quickly reactivate its weapons industry. It must not rely on foreign powers to fight against Russia. Maybe form manufacturing pacts with Turkey and surrounding nations threatened by Russia. At the same time, the counteroffensive must be accelerated regardless of casualties. I feel Ukraine is trying to minimize casualties for PR reasons but time is running out.

      A country that is already fighting a war on its home turf is going to find it very hard to find the human and financial resources to build a large domestic arms industry. They probably will not prevail unless they receive foreign aid, both financial and military.
