I don't see how this benefits Putin. He wants to keep going. And any country that has fought against Russians becomes so bitterly entrenched against them, having waves of idiotic Z trash getting dumped in their direction. The drones hitting civilians. And the number of Russian generals and commanders that Ukrainian special forces have killed, I'd be surprised there isn't deep bitterness from the Russians now, beyond the old foolhardy Imperial Russian shit they keep in their briefs to waddle around in.

So no, I doubt war's over. I seriously doubt it. More political theater. Trump, Zelensky, and Putin do not speak the same political language and their goals are so vastly different. Expect more daily drone bombings, major sabotage works, grinding infantry combat, potential Russian gains in land territory while their backend gets raped and Russian civilians screech more as drones hit apartment buildings.

I bet it drags on for years more until China somehow starts shit with Trump and it really pops off.

Putin doesn't want to lose face.
