🇺🇦 Die Ukraine hat es geschafft, Russland aufzuhalten. Was nun? – Auf dem Schlachtfeld wendet sich das Blatt und das Kräfteverhältnis verschiebt sich zu Gunsten Europas. Putin ist am Boden, aber nicht draußen, und seine Möglichkeiten werden immer enger.

I would not buy hime time to adapt / regroup, keep pushing!
Blow up the Crimean bridge hopefully, then whole peninsula becomes a liability for Russia since they wont be able to support it in any meaningful way… Just my Armchair general 5cents
Assuming Putin remains in power I suspect Russia will only come to the table at the point Ukraine has recaptured a province, at which point Putin’s incentive becomes offer favourable terms before he loses everything and surviving the aftermath of the war becomes practically impossible.
I’m doubtful Ukraine will settle for anything except full retreat though, especially when conditions in the occupied zone become widely known.
Focus should remain on maximizing casualties and economic damage. Sure, retaking land is nice, but fact is also that there’s nothing in wars which costs as many lives as offensive operation. The best way to liberate Ukrainian land has and always will be to make the cost of the war, both from a manpower perspective and economic perspective, so high for Russia that they can’t sustain it and the whole house of cards just one day collapses.
Putin won’t give up without first getting Belarus into the fight and another round of “partial” mobilization to raise another few hundred thousand troops. But that could conceivably happen and fail in 2026.
Good time for Russia to wave the white flag while they still have leverage. If they surrender now, they can probably get away with returning Ukrainian territory and pay no war indemnities or at least very little. This won’t only be good for Russia, it will also be good for Ukraine. Both sides are losing lives every single day, and there is no reason to keep the war going for another 1 to 2 years in order to postpone the inevitable.
