You're deluded if you think Russia are about to win.

Their advance is dead and the best they can hope for this year is that they don't lose any more ground. The technological superiority of NATO weapons systems has once again been demonstrated in a decisive fashion, and Russia is staring down the barrel of its eternal nightmare; A technologically superior hostile force directly on its flat, open western border - a scenario that has played out 3 times in two centuries, and resulted in great devastation for Russia each time.

Russia will have to keep the conflict going for years if it wants to win, or it will have to sign a peace treaty and try again in a decade or two.

[EDIT] lol @ downvotes. I can't wait to quote this post next year.
