It seems that the Russians are following a slow methodical advance, saving the troops for the occupation.
Putin has 7,000 dead and about 14,000 injured. A lot of Russian tank crews have left their tanks sit there and given up or just walked away. I'll be curious how things go when the US Switchblade drones are used. I think that it is about 50/50 that the Ukraine wins the war outright. And about 50/50 that Putin gets overthrown. Most Dictators do not last more than 20 years. Germany's army will be stronger than the Russian army in about 2 years.
