There is no way to spin it.....the Russians bit off far. more than they can chew.
Unless and until the Russian Leadership accept a negotiated peace settlement....this will turn into a very costly war of attrition for both sides.....and my money says the Russians do not have the Heart or motivation to win this thing.
All these Dead Russians have families at home who certainly do not think such sacrifice is worth it.
That bodes ill for Putin et al.
Its heartening that NATO is now holding almost weekly conferences now to discuss military aid to Ukraine. From the reports I've seen the flow of aid of all types seems to be growing apace.
I think the decisive battle of the war is about to take place in the east. If Ukraine can hold out and counter effectively, then there's a distinct possibility of another Russian collapse. Also, the pressure on Russian forces to conclude something/anything by May 9th must be driving all kinds of irrational decisions and behaviours which could well spell their doom.
