This looks pretty believable.

I think it’s a war of attrition. Both sides are losing. Ukraine has fewer men to lose.

Russia will not give in, as they’ve always done.

IF they were losing to the point that there’s no hope, they’d launch nukes.

Right now, they’ve taken a lot of Eastern Ukraine. This is factual.

So Russia is now willing to start a nuclear war when it is invading a country, are you sure of that?

You think rather than call an invasion a failure and bring their forces home they would rather launch nuclear weapons?

The best thing for the world is a limited Russian victory. Then Putin can go home and declare victory.

If the Ukrainians capture Crimea, Putin might be forced to nuke Ukraine.

Correct. If I'm Zelensky, I would call for a cease fire. Hopefully, Putin's successor will be reasonable and will return the occupied territories to Ukraine in return for international recognition of Crimea.

“Russia will not give in, as they’ve always done.”

Russia gave in and lost the 1800s Crimea war
Russia gave in to tye Japanese in 1905
Russia gave in and surrendered to imperial Germany in 1917
Russia gave in and lost the Polish Soviet war of 1920
Russia gave in with the Afghanistan war
