4. Ukraine will fight on, with or without the help of the US(most likely without)

The EU will continue to back Ukraine, and hopefully that will be enough to outlast Russia. This is a war of attrition now, and Russia and Putin are facing some serious deadlines. Money for Russia's war machine is running out. The men and material needed to supply that war machine is also running out. Putin's political stock is also running low. I think if Ukraine can stay in the fight Russia will be forced to turn tail and return home like they did in Afghanistan forty years ago, and Ukraine, all of Ukraine will remain free.

There's a reason why Putin wants a peace deal, to regroup, resupply, and renew his political capital. He can't keep this up, otherwise Russia implodes, much like the USSR did. This is very much a replay of the Soviet-Afghan war and its aftermath, and Putin knows this and in his heart of hearts, is running scared.
