The Russkies in their state controlled media, as well as the Kremlin propagandists on the web, are already making Strelkov, the GRU guy in the Donbass, the scapegoat for failure, even speculating that he plans to march on Moscow, or secretly has a Jewish passport (a weird anti-semitism thing), or is in fact working for NATO, depending on the guy they have on. Alexandr Dugin, a "National Bolshevik" and promoter of a genuine "fascist fascism" for mother Russia, and one of the most visible supporters of a war to take over Ukraine, was let go from his University position, which he blames on Putin. The Russian media is now actively representing the war no longer as a war for Novorussiya, but as an unrelated conflict in another country. The Russkies are indeed feeling the sting and are in a mad rush to lay the blame as far away from themselves as possible. Tcrlaf is an insane Putinista, so don't take his frothing at the mouth over the death of every Ukrainian too seriously as a sign of Ukraine's imminent defeat. Better to see how the Muscovites themselves are taking things:

"In separate posts we’ve covered the speculation from both liberal opposition and ultranationalist regarding the possible ambitions of pro-Russian separatist leader Col. Igor Strelkov; the antics of leftist ultranationalist Sergei Kurginyan and his denunciation of Col. Igor Strelkov for losing Slavyansk, and his riotous press conference with the “people’s governor” Pavel Gubarev in which the fact of Russian aid to the rebels nevertheless slipped out; and the speculation regarding the intrigues of Kremlin “grey cardinal” Vyacheslav Surkov"

That link has other useful links to read up on the madness and internal fighting going on with the Muscovites lately.

By the way, a note on the strange world of Russian politics. That Sergei Kurginyan, described as a "leftist" AND an "ultranationalist." He is, apparently, a self-described National Bolshevik (think national socialist) and promoter of "Red" Orthodoxy (communist Russian Christian Orthodoxy), on top of being a Kremlin propagandist. Tcrlaf and the idiot Putinistas never shut up about the Ukrainians supposedly being run by Nazis, when there are literal Nazis in Russia frothing at the mouth on Russkie state controlled television.
