I'm sure Putin is surprised at how long the Ukrainian resistance has lasted and that he has been unable to capture the whole of Ukraine.
I just wonder how long Ukraine can keep up the resistance though. I also shudder at the thought of so many people in Ukraine without power and water, with the winter months coming up. Its absolute genocide, what Putin is doing.
Sadly, I don't see a resolution of this conflict anytime soon. I think the war is just going to keep grinding month after month after month.. I really don't know what the eventual outcome will be...
