I will never understand the Russian mentality that millions of casualties are acceptable as a byproduct of war. But Putin, like Nicholas and Stalin before him, clearly accepts that as an inevitability of nationalism.

Despite claims of success in Ukraine, new CSIS data shows that Russia is paying an extraordinary price for minimal gains, with over 1.2 million casualties. Russia is also in decline as a major economic power with slow growth, weak productivity, and declining manufacturing.

"Second, Russian forces are advancing remarkably slowly on the battlefield. In the Pokrovsk offensive, for example, Russian forces advanced at an average rate of just 70 meters per day. This is slower than the most brutal offensive campaigns over the last century, including the notoriously bloody Battle of the Somme during World War I. Russian forces have gained less than 1.5 percent of Ukrainian territory since the start of 2024."

One of the things that is observable about Putin, is that he doesn't change course unless he's exhausted his options. One of his options is to freeze Ukraine out this winter. So let's hope Ukraine can hold on for the next six weeks. I think they will.

The other option in Putin's mind is that Trump will come thru for him. So Putin is planning on at least three more years of war before he will consider changing course.
