So you really think the Russians are just going to pack it up and go home I would argue there is no possible way they can win. Its just a war of attrition at this point and Russia will "win" simply based on their resource base in materials and manpower. Putins going to push this war through . Russians , in Russia, damn near worship the guy. He isn't going anywhere .Short answer, YES, they can win!
All it will take is time, time to wear down the Russian forces, enough to make it far too costly to continue, and lets face it, the Ukrainians have far more to loose then the Russians, so they are going to fight to the last man to drive the Russians back!
I talk with Ukrainians almost daily, and there is a very strong sense of pride and nationalism, a sense of EVERY ONE pitching in to do their part, weather it knitting clothes of Cammo netting, making food bundles, or countless other things to support the fighting men!
None of that is happening in Russia, so NO, Ukraine WILL win, they just need to Hold Fast, adn keep fighting, and they will wear the Russians down to the point where they will be forced to draw back across the border and remain there in complete defeat!
The ONLY way Russia could win is to go all in scorched earth, and that's not only very stupid, but very dangerous!
Putin miscalculated BADLY, and now he has to pay the piper one way or the other!
The Russians will grind down the Ukrainians and in the end the Russians and will come to a negotiated truce at some point like ALL wars end. In the end winning will probably look like ceding 1/3 or Ukraine to Russia with guarantees to Russia that NATO membership is off the table. . I really hate seeing so many on both side dying with the west throwing gasoline on this fire.
