      Russia is almost out of tanks, their economy is a shambles, their oil is barely profitable, and they lose 3 men for every one Ukraine does. They may well lose.

      Germany lost ww1 this way, they simply could no longer sustain the conflict economically. Wars of attrition look impossible until they suddenly collapse.
