Both sides are dug in. Ukraine because its existence is at stake. Putin because he has oversold this war and will be toast if he comes away with anything less than Novorossiya (which Ukraine can never accept).

Russia’s existing forces in Ukraine will soon be spent. Maybe Putin going to full mobilization and martial law combined with a dwindling economy will do the trick.
