There is growing alarm about the pace and prospects of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, with few signs of progress in recent weeks and Russian lines holding strong. Those concerns picked up steam …
I think so as well, once Ukraine runs through their current stocks of western weapons they can’t be easily replaced. Ukraine is also losing a lot of its motivated and experinced soldiers who are being replaced by conscripts who are untrained and unmotivated.
Once the offensive burns out, Russia will be marching against a depleted and demoralized army.
Why? It would be a nightmare. Bakhmut/Artemovsk was bad enough, and it was a small town. A proper megapolis like Kiev would be a massacre for either side

This hubris will be taught in history books.
