Politicians here and in Europe are now starting to talk as if it's a given the Russians will 'lose'.
They have certainly not got the expected result, but if Putin decides to win, Russia ultimately has the men and munitions to do it.
I'm hoping of course that Putin will redefine victory so that war can stop, but it's not a certainty that Russia won't take Ukraine, even if it has to destroy the country to do so.
