A brief summary.

-The de-miliatarization of Russia continues at a steady pace and sanctions will prevent an easy reconstruction/modernization of their military.
-The "no limits" partnership betweeen Russia and China so far has very clear limits, which seem to increase with time.
-The Russian army advancement has been stopped, something that would have been unthinkable two years ago.
-Continuous attacks on Russian infraestructure on Russsian territory by Ukraine operatives has been normalized, something that would have been unthinkable two years ago.
-Russian black sea fleet is playing the mouse part in a mouse and cat game.
-Russian air force range of operation has been continually reduced.

Now, the fearless prediction. The war will end this year! Why? The USA has bigger dragonfish to fry and putin's goverment will crash hard because he is betting EVERYTHING on this war, he never had a plan B, he has no exit strategy and young russians are not used to the hardships of the soviet era. The clock is ticking and putin knows it is attached to a bomb.
