I thought they were winning.

Is it best for us that the war continue? More aid? Trump takes over and Putin has an excuse/incentive to quit.

NATO nations up their defense budgets to 3% and we quit. That might take 4%.

Four unnamed sources from the Russian President’s administration and the Ministry of Defence told the news website Verstka

LOL, what do senior White House sources say.

Is this invasion really worth the huge cost in people and material? At this point all this is about is Russia not loosing face by being defeated by a smaller country. It’s time for Russia to cut their loses and go home. Many are calling on the Ukrainians to negotiate a settlement. Let Russia propose a settlement that addresses their security concerns and respects Ukrainian sovereignty.

The Russians don’t have the manpower; their demographics don’t support it.
Maybe they’ll resort to women-power.

They’ve probably spent the past year making or buying the weapons and equipment for the mobilization.

Expect Ukraine to be captured later this year.

350,000 and counting, Russian deaths in War in Ukraine; compared to about 70,000 Ukrainian deaths. US estimates.
