German reporter Julian Roepke postulates that there are millions more males in Ukraine that could join the fight. But that’s not how it works. It's not possible to simply equip, organize, and supply the entire male population. Militaries have limits to their armament and sustainment powers. If NATO wants to defeat Russia it will have to officially join the war. It’s running out of Ukrainians.
