No, if Russia wants Ukraine they will have to bring in the heavy artillery and go scorched earth.They will have to kill women and children as well as civilian fighters in mass genocide reminiscent of what the Nazis did to Ukraine in 1939. The Ukrainians are not going to give up.

The Russians can win this, But it would be a phyric victory. There would be next to nothing left.

As I've said elsewhere, most of Putin's official reason for going in was to remove the "Nazis" that took over leadership of the country, to save the Russia/loving populace from them. If he starts hitting civilian structures and infrastructure willy-nilly, that undermines the whole reason he officially went in there. I don't see him doing that, not too excessively, anyway.

He’s already hit a kindergarten and some hospitals. Everybody knows his pretext is nonsense.
