Using long range drone and missile strikes, Ukraine has done considerable damage to Russian logistics and military infrastructure. This shaping of the battlespace made Russian defenses at Kursk vulnerable because Putin misallocated military power to Crimea and trying to force gains in Donbas.

My guess is that after a cease fire, Ukraine will offer Russian territory they hold in return for recovery of Ukrainian territory the Russians hold. Putin may grudgingly accept such a deal and declare it a great victory against NATO and Ukraine.

Or Putin will turn his attention to that area and decimate the Ukrainian forces who encroached on Russian land with weapons they acquired from the US. Then it’ll be our turn to pay. The warmongers here and in DC will have gotten their wish.
