Interesting, LoungeLizard.
I reckon that once Putin captures Pokrovsk and Chasiv Yar then he will call for negotations. The whole tempo of the conflict will then change as the debate, in Ukraine and beyond, focuses not on "winning" the war (which will then be unmistakably absurd) - but accepting the "loss" of the east - whatever "loss" actually means (for example, what guarantees of the rights of Ukrainian people there will there be?)
