I doubt there is a way for Russia to win here in any meaningful way. Russia already lost too much armor without gaining anything but a land route to Crimea (which it needs to secure somehow).
Russia does not have any modern tech of its own production and population that is not a supportive as the government would like. Even now real support is not as widespread but it will only get worse with economy going south. People are cheering while they still feel safe and relatively comfortable.
I highly doubt Russia can do much without WMD here. And using WMD's will be a loss anyway.
- jacquesm 4y agoAgreed. The really big question to me is this: Ukraine is steadily building up momentum and capabilities, if they turn this war around, and there is a fair chance of that happening Russia will be pushed back, possibly out of the east of Ukraine and maybe even out of Crimea. That would cause some real trouble and might trigger Russia to make desperate moves.
