I think they were hoping that Ukraine could last till the elections, but it's starting to look like the lines are already cracking.

So around six months to go? Tbh I don't see AFU capitulating in this period

I wouldn't be too sure that AFU can hold on for another six months. Once the collapse starts it accelerates very quickly. We may be in the early stages of this right now. The panic in western media suggests that the situation is very bad for Ukraine.

Elections in November and the new President takes office in like... January or something? (Don't ask me, I just live here, I'm not great at USA civics.)
