This war now is a draw, and in the near and clear present future, it would still be a draw, unless something drastic happen, it will not change the needle anywhere.
It didn't matter if Russia "seize" any territories they aimed for, there were NEVER any strategic and military control of Ukraine for Russia, for that, they either need a Pro-Russian Ukrainian administation or they have to conquer Kyiv. Both of them aren't going to be achievable in the near future (I am talking about 50 years +)
You can keep thinking whatever you want, but as I said, you would expect Russia to either push the Ukrainian out of Kursk or took Porvorsk since last year, neither of them happened and it's almost March, that show you how much Russia can handle, I don't deal with what if, or what I think, I look at past military action to predict the future, you read your own lable,
As I’ve said over and over, whether Russia takes the Donbass or not is irrelevant to the strategic outcomes of the war.
Russia lost this war at Hostomel. Ukraine will be aligned with the West, they’ll conduct trade and weapons deals with the West.
What does Russia have to show for it? 800,000 dead and wounded. 20,000+ equipment losses. NATO expanded, an economy with inflation through the roof and 21% interest rates. Their economy is toast post war. 20% of Ukrainian land that’s been largely destroyed with millions of mines laid. Little funds to rebuild with the working population mostly gone.
Russia lost
