No. It’s unlikely either side will surrender. But then I don’t know what goes on inside the countries. We had an interesting Wagner mutiny in Russia for example. Something similar could happen for either side.
Most likely outcome seems to be that eventually the Russians stop making gains and they will demand consessions (territory) that Ukraine is willing to accept. There will be some kind of guarantee for Ukrainian independence.
no
No. The war is unpopular, but Zelenskyy is still popular.
I think it is clear that the Ukrainian people would accept a negotiated settlement including the loss of territory, but I don’t see total capitulation as politically acceptable. The big sticking point appears to be who guarantees Ukrainian independence after the war.
No, though it seems like both sides have lost the appetite and ability to execute meaningful large scale maneuvers. I have wondered if it might end up with some kind of cease-fire agreement that leads to a simmering militarized border while the war is still technically ongoing, similar to North and South Korea.
I think Russia will surrender soon.
