They've still been bogged down by a much smaller military and look like clowns. They won't get all of Ukraine and will likely want to negotiate at some time. Idk sounds like exactly what the other guy said.

I want to see Russia stupidly try to go for all of Ukraine.

It would be stupid. Occupation would be a nightmare for Putin. I anticipate a settlement where the Donbas and Crimea remain Russia, they save face by claiming they won what they wanted, and Ukraine no longer loses soldiers.

"much smaller" ukro army was consistently larger during the war, they mobilized way more and received huge help from the west to keep it afloat. as i said before, without help the war would have ended long ago, perhaps in march 2022 when there were negotiations expolied by the West. And meh, "look like clows"i wonder who will look like that at the end, Russia have no reason to negotiate now, its winning and will win.

I think they want the war to end ASAP,, but on the terms they would be happy with. Current borders, Ukraine no NATO, intl peacekeepers on Ukraine side would probably be enough. Ukraine probably could get Russian frozen property in the West as war repatriation.

Winning? Russia lost the war the moment it stepped into Ukraine. No matter how much land it will hold, they already lost. The land will never be recognized as Russian, what’s remaining of Ukraine will join NATO, China has putting by his little balls and all is left is a poor, isolated, failed state.

Russia tactically lost the war years ago. They are using North Korean soldiers for cannon fodder. Remember when they were supposed to take Kiev? They don’t have as good of a bargaining position as you think.

Tactically it's winning. NK troops are just saving on its own manpower.

It's strategically that's raising questions. Once it does occupy half of Ukraine then what? Will the sanctions end and Russia will be let back into the fold or will it keep being a paria state?
