Russia has no choice but to go all in with a massive ground presence and air control.

This is going to lead to excessive costs and crippling of the economy, especially with the sanctions.

The televised drama about Putin ordering special alert for nuclear facilities is a signal that he is getting desperate.

Either he was misled by yes men (most likely) or given false hopes by in-competent generals (also likely) or both.

With present successes, it is not sufficient to only have more troops on ground. An urban insurgency will bleed Russia for years.

When the people, lead by a charismatic leader showing extraordinary courage and resolve taste the motivation and identify Putin as aggressor, the war will be fought with will power. And already, Putin has come out weak when compared to Zelensky.

History will remember the hero who stood up to the tyranny of Putin and his legacy is forever tarnished.

Not a good closing chapter, Putin.
