Things are not looking good for the Ukrainian side. They are being forced to use 19th century weapons.

Ukrainian forces defending the Donbass town of Artyomovsk, also known as Bakhmut, are relying on Victorian-era Maxim guns, the Telegraph reported on Friday. Despite receiving tens of billions of dollars worth of US and NATO aid, Kiev is reportedly struggling with shortages of arms and ammunition.
“I have seen Maxim machine guns in stationary positions many times,” a Ukrainian soldier told the British newspaper. “Despite their age, it is a rather formidable weapon. The main thing is not to forget to add some water.”
Invented by Hiram Stevens Maxim in 1884, the Maxim gun was the first fully automatic machine gun in the world. Firing a still-respectable 600 rounds per minute, the gun relies on a heavy water jacket around its barrel to prevent overheating. Sitting on iron wheels and weighing around 30 kilos before adding water or ammunition belts, it takes a crew of four people to operate.
Using weapons that were considered obsolete by World War I does not sound like a winning strategy.
The Jew regime in Kiev has decided to throw everything they have into defending this single city and the end result has been a mass slaughter. They’re just feeding people into a meat grinder for a war that can’t be won. This story proves that this is the case. They can’t win with 19th century weapons.
Here’s a couple of interviews with Douglas Macgregor and Scott Ritter providing the latest analysis of the war. They’re two of the few honest former military men giving truthful information about the situation.
