Okay, black humour off.

What counts is the total remaining strength of Ukraine and the current loss ratio. The rest is mathematics. Industrial war IS mathematics. Russia can afford high losses, Ukraine not so well. They feel the many lacks already now.

They need a decisive breakthrough within the next 4-6 weeks, I say. If by then they still linger around with only the outpost line before the first defence line, a new round of fixed trench warfare will begin, favouring Russia.

I hope that Putin stays wehre he is, and stay salive. If he goes away in any way, the risk is that he will be replaced with somebody as brutal - but of more military competence. The last thing Ukraine needs is a competent military leader in the Kremlin, a new Shukov for example.
You are right they can not be compared the Russians had no 3 line of defenses to fight against only makes it worse for the Russians.
