Russia's war is largely lost. All that is left is making big piles of rubble smaller and slaughtering anyone they find.

How long it takes for the Russian military command to admit they blew it and tell Putin his murderous fool's errand has failed is the only question left, that and a lot of table pounding by diplomats.

The Russians did accomplish one thing, they united a largely divided country. Any ethnic Russians left in eastern Ukraine are not going to want anything to do with the "motherland" now. The cost was appalling to both sides. I doubt the Kremlin will ever admit the true number of casualties on their side.
