Yes and now russia will be smashed in the face by armored counter attack unless they figure out a way to get Ukraine to agree to pause hostilities so they can regroup and stabilize the mess that is the russian frontlines before spring and summer make rapid, mass attacks far easier.

If I were Ukraine I would not agree to any terms until spring was close enough to see the fear in the russia's eyes. If that doesn't happen, then so be it, crush them. As this war continues it will only get worse for russia, and it won't do so smoothly and slowly...

Putin put all his eggs in the "negotiate a pause hostilities before spring by getting Trump and cronies to bully Ukraine into a shit deal" basket.

Stop writing that nonsense. You're not Ukraine. You never been to Ukraine. You know nothing about Ukraine, its past or future. That hurray-bullshit of yours is disgusting to read. Leave writing such things to people who have some basic idea what is going on.

Then back up your claims about this not being an accurate read of the war :)

It is a Russel's kettle full of hurray-slop. Nothing even to discuss.

Your opinions are.. or? I am confused

Nothing I have said is out of line with any of the articles and assessments I have posted about the war, I am simply pointing to the reality and telling it how it is, the idea that russia is going to roar into a summer offensive like it has in past springs just isn't supported by evidence.

Meanwhile I have provided specific examples of things that I think have meaningfully, substantially reversed the tide of the war, where are the specifics of your argument other than "How dare you!?"....?
