That is entirely dependent on Russia and Putin. They have the power to end this at any time, by going home. |
Well, actually it depends on the West's willingness to bring in the arms and ammunition that really, really hurts.
The Ukranian army is not and will never be in a position to overwhelm the Russian army on its own. The numbers are simply stacked against that. Unless Ukrania gets the "good" ammo to carpet bomb Russian border cities (lets say they aim at bridges, warehouses, railways, highways, but ultimately it means carpet bombing) and effectively threaten Belorussian/Transnistrian cities. These current counter offensive strikes look cool on twitter messages, but those gains cannot be held if Russia gets its mess organised. And sooner or later the Russians will have learned their lessons, currently there essentially is a culling of inept Russian commanders and officers on the field. They have unlimited cash and village idiots they can send into Ukrania while they are learning.
