  1. One thing to consider is cold makes it miserable to be in the field. But one side is in the field to ensure the survival of their country and their people as an ethnic group, the country's liberation and their freedom. The other side is fighting for 900 dollars a month which most of the time isn't even paid out in full. If everybody takes a morale hit from the weather, that will favour the Ukrainians. It's not all sunshine and rainbows though, harder weather means people will need things to survive and be comfortable. For occupied parts of Ukraine that means relying on the Russian occupational forces. That is inevitably going to inspire some less hostility, perhaps even loyalty, in some people.

  3. We can see a clear sign that Putin's grip on power is failing: Over 11 oligarchs who were all essential parts of the regime, have been murdered since just because the war started (30th january was the first). In the ten years before that, Putin only imprisoned and destroyed 1 oligarch. Now he's murdered 11 in half a year.
