There is already a clear winner — Russia. The land Russia has annexed is never going back to Ukraine.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ukraine divided at the Dnieper river.
Would any of the pro-russia side actually care to actually put a date to their predictions of Ukraine’s imminent defeat? When do they retake Kherson? Zaporizhzhia? The rest of Donbass including Kramatorsk? All “land Russia has annexed that is never going back to Ukraine.”
If you are so confident in your sides victory, put the date to paper.
Not necessarily. It could be like the Cold War where Russia annexes territory and then relinquished. It certainly won’t happen until Putin, but he will ultimately die. Russia’s borders have always enlarged and shrunk over the centuries.
