alt Hacker Newsrussia is currently holding just about all the land it wants in Ukraine
They might not be taking Kiev for a hundred years, but the fortress belt is well within reach in the next couple of years
If they were to negotiate an end tomorrow, Russia certainly wouldnt be giving up territory in ukraine. i dont see how thats not winning

If you’re looking at win vs loss you also need to look at what you got in return for what you gave. A ton of casualties and further international isolation aren’t really worth the middling gains Russia could negotiate for peace today. Which is probably one of the reasons they still haven’t, sunk cost fallacy and all that.
Russia is not only on the precipice of giving up territory in Ukraine, it's likely to give up so much more because its ability to function as a country is being systematically destroyed.
The only barrier between Russians and anarchy is the last nine meals they’ve had. How's the summer harvest coming along?
