Ukraine is fighting. But they can't hold out forever on their own.
Putin's army is incompetent. But they'll get better under the pressure of war. At some point, Russia will 'win', although that 'win' may not be what Putin wants.
Re: Russian regime.
Conspiracy theorists enjoy discussing the concept of the 'Deep State'. They seem to miss the idea that countries other than the USA have deep states as well. Russia had one since at least 1917. What is different now is that the Russian deep state has become THE state. They eliminated all other centers of power. Thus, Putin and his ilk who can't see the world in terms of anything but the Cold War.

Yes a lot like winter war , the Ukrainians have same spirit and courage , while Russians have some very bad issues on troops in mental level.
Uk is considering sending Starstreak manpads, that would be good, mach 3 speed .....
It does seem like there are deep state also in Russia , now they act more like they dont care about what others think, they come out from the box .
Swastica symbol that Germans used has changed to Z symbol that Russians now use
