The country lays in ruins, the electrical grid is routinely shut down by bombing, 35% of the populace has been forced from their homes. Putin now controls all the valuable energy/Lithium assets in the Donbas.
How does the average voter think this is going to end. Putin simply saying "you win". Why would he give up? Just like the Taliban and North Vietnamese gave up. I guess folks never learn.
