Ukraine's Top Commander Says War With Russia in Stalemate Despite NATO Support

General Valery Zaluzhny cites technological parity and Russia’s willingness to sacrifice troops as major factors in the deadlock; calls for improved technological capabilities to break stalemate.

General Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine's top commander, declared the war with Russia a stalemate, despite backing from NATO and the application of advanced warfare technologies.
Zaluzhny suggested that the impasse could be broken with the improvement of Ukraine's technological abilities, such as achieving air superiority and increasing artillery fire effectiveness.
The General acknowledged underestimating Russia's willingness to sustain troop losses, with an unverified claim of at least 150,000 Russian casualties.
Ukraine's Western allies' support, including weaponry, has not been sufficient to breakthrough Russian defenses, indicating possible waning international willingness to further aid Ukraine.
The nature of the current conflict has shifted the war to a positional form where the opposing sides can pin each other down and prevent significant advancement, reminiscent of the trench warfare seen in the First World War.
