With all the global pressure that Putin is facing, I don't think he's gonna be able to keep up this offensive. Especially since I think Ukraine is going to make for a VERY stubborn, entrenched, and most likely well-supplied target, The element of surprise is not there either. Ukraine's been on edge for who knows how long. They've had plenty of time to prepare. Volodmyr's probably securing arms deals as we speak, that is, if he didn't do it sooner. All in all, I'm not sure what year Putin thinks he's in or what the fuck he's going to accomplish, but I really don't think it's going to be much. Hell, you might even be able to argue that this invasion erases some of Putin's bargaining power. He had that vague threat of invasion before, but now he's done it, and now that threat is gone obviously. What is he going to negotiate with now? Nukes? Oh yeah, and don't forget, pretty much all the native Russians I've talked to have pretty much had enough of Putin's shit as well, so even in his own country, public support is low.
I give it about... Two weeks to a month before Putin eventually capitulates. Maybe sooner.
