Roads to Moscow, Al Stewart
Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads
Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snow

Correct, weather is what stopped the German invasion of russia. Now in an ironic twist the russians in Ukraine cannot leave the roads. A tank invasion from one road will not work. So they sit like ducks in a row.
The weather for Kyiv does not show another freeze coming! Russia is screwed.
I wish NATO would just do a mass fly over. Just to show how exposed they are!

More of Roads to Moscow:
And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise
You'll never know, you'll never know which way to turn, which way to look you'll never see us
As we're stealing through the blackness of the night
You'll never know, you'll never hear us

I do not think russia will ever peacefully control Ukraine.

Send more stingers.
