In principle. Ukraine can win if Russia is willing to cut its losses and quit at the conventional level; but nobody knows if it will. They will always have an option to take it to the next level,

@fredfred2363 I don't think the Russians will quit, at the current level of intensity the losses for Russians are at most barely more unsustainable that Ukraine's are. Were the Russian losses to be understood to be unsustainable, then there'd be the very best pf incentives for ascend to a plane of conflict where Ukraine cannot follow and the West dares not go. I speak of theatre thermonuclear weapons. We keep being told that Russians do not care about Crimea, or regard it their national territory worth defending as much as Moscow, but the evidence of the last few years is that they are set on retaining at whatever cost, not just Crimea but also the territory gained since 2022.
