I think it’s more likely Putin just ceases fire and digs in. He wants to destroy Ukraine economically. What’s Ukraine to do then?
The Russians are 19 miles away from Kyiv. Zelensky refuses to surrender. The Russians can probably reach the city center soon. But that’s a bad move there. Their best bet is to fall for a cease fire that will allow Dontesk and Lutansk to be annexed in the Russian Federation. Zelenskyy gets to remain power but he knocks it off with NATO talk.
Then the Western part of Ukraine breaks off and forms a new government based in L’viv.
