I truly wish the Ukrainians would blow a few main bridges over the Ob or the Yenesi Rivers and stop cold all Trans Siberia transport.

From Reuters...
The Russians continue to take major losses in both troops and equipment, but they seem more than willing to accept those losses in return for slow but steady gains on the front. At some point to the outnumbered and exhausted Ukrainians begin to give up ground more quickly?

Reads an awful like a throw back to the winter of 1943 here.
Manstein ends up pulling a rabbit out of the hat in March of 43 in the Kharkiv area and stabilizes the front for 3-4 months until the Kursk Offensive. Are the Ukrainians basically in the same position? Come May/June do things just fall apart?

The major telling issue is that Russia no longer is able to build rocket launchers.

Just after the last time we heard about their Bayraktars?
Actually, I heard about them a while back when one of them shot down 6 incoming missiles/UAVs in a single mission.
"Too close - switching to guns...."

Putan does not GAF how many people die on both sides.
Will the Russian Army eventually crack? You would think so. But it's Russia.

As an alleged 100-day plan gets shared out there ....

... one of the players is saying, "yeah, we're ready to talk - just not with him."
www.rferl.org
Since the alleged plan (which UKR authorities deny is a thing, or a firm thing) calls for either USA-UKR-RUS talks at some point, or USA-UKR and USA-RUS talks separate, looks like the latter'll be the case if the first few hoops get jumped through.
Over by May 9 Ukrainian media publishes Trump’s alleged ‘100-day plan’ to end the war — Meduza
On January 26, the Ukrainian news site Strana.ua published a “100-day plan” for ending the war, allegedly written by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. That same day, Turkish journalist Abdulkadir Selvi wrote in the newspaper Hurriyet that negotiations are “expected” to begin in April...

We should start a pool: What will Trump do about the Russia-Ukraine conflict?
I'm going with blockade of Russian strategic supply chain networks, plus forcing Ukraine to extend conscription down to 18 year olds.
Or something cheerful like that

That's a good start, but we'll see...
The European Union urgently needs investments of at least 100 billion euros. According to four member states bordering Russia, the EU must double its defense spending, Bloomberg reports.
A document prepared by Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland calls on the EU to use joint borrowing, allow the European Investment Bank to spend funds on essential defense needs, and cooperate with European partners outside the bloc — an apparent reference to the United Kingdom.
The countries leading the campaign to defend Ukraine from Russia's invasion cite estimates indicating that current military spending by EU member states will amount to approximately 326 billion euros in 2024. The document concludes that this figure must double if the bloc wants to achieve a target spending level of at least 3% of GDP and be prepared for "extreme military contingencies."
The EU is preparing a new defense strategy, and bloc leaders are set to hold an informal meeting on February 3 in Brussels to present their proposals.
This project is expected to be unveiled in March, with a final plan to be adopted by the end of the year. While most member states agree on the need to reassess Europe's defense capabilities, industry, and overall readiness, they have different views on achieving this.
Some countries, particularly Germany, have long opposed using joint borrowing for defense purposes. US President Donald Trump has stated that he wants NATO countries to spend 5% of GDP on defense — a level that even the United States does not currently meet.
