In the face of NATO’s inevitable reduction of armed support to Kiev as suggested by the New York Times’ latest report, which came a day before the Estonian Defense Minister admitted that the Russian military remains strong in spite of this proxy war, it makes perfect sense for all sides to secure their gains at this point in time.
Reality is setting in, at least for the next 5 or 6 months of winter..... during which Russia will seek to 'end the war' by crippling Ukraine infrastructure, and launch attacks to damage/destroy the US-NATO armed Azov survivors. Russia will have to be careful to not be suckered into more fake Minsk style agreements that neither the Ukrainian Nazis nor the US/NATO thugs might honour.
