Russia gets bogged down is simply a fictional hope here. You should read up how Russia mowed down Hitler. How Russia destroyed Grozny beyond recognition and garnered the survivors's immense loyalty (brainwashed). As long as no countries helping Ukraine militarily, Ukraine losses is inevitable. The only question is just when and how many dead. USA cannot help without risking destruction of Taiwan (1/3 USA navy is on the other side of the planet) and Israel (Iran going nukish). If you observe Putin, unlike American, he hasn't send in the war his best, while Ukrainian has been bleeding their best on the frontline (very similar to Hitler's crack troops against Russian worst back then). As more and more civilians get boxed in and then cut off from outside, Ukrainian military will get weaker and weaker to feed their civilians. In ancient Chinese warfare it was routinely their rule of engagement to exterminate any additional mouth that won't contribute to winning the war. As for Putin, he has a lot of old Soviet stocks that need to dispose of. This war is a perfect excuse to replenish his arms once this is over. So overall, we as worldwide citizen should get Ukrainian to surrender because 1. Less people die 2. Less damages to Ukraine to preserve their cultural identity 3. Ukrainian diaspora spread worldwide will one day have influence and clout to come back to rebuild Ukraine. Putin cannot live long just like Stalin.

But alas, everybody just gotten too emotionally gratifying to cheer and help Zelenskyy to piedpiperred his people to doom like the Battle of Hattin.
