“Maybe, maybe not … we’ll just have to wait and see.’
There is a saying: “Hope is not a strategy”. Whatever you’re waiting for, NATO intervention or Russia quitting, they’re slowly grinding the UA down. That’s the harsh reality. Ukraine’s best bet is peace negotiations.
With regard to Putin’s war against Ukraine? It seems to be a mutual sort of grinding down, as the meat grinder works both ways, but is traditionally hungrier for the aggressors, and especially so for the Russians, given their tactics.
The Russian casualties and equipment lost counts are insane day after day. No nation can sustain that kind of loss for very long, not even Russia.
Since the beginning of Putin’s war, most predictions about when and how Putin’s war would end have been wrong, so … I guess we’ll just have to wait who has to quit first.
Ukraine mortal reasons to fight and has friends lining up with support for Ukraine. But reasons for Russia’s fighting? Not so much. Ego and greed? Territorial conquest? No honor there. That’s Satan’s stuff.
Good luck with that.
