kinds of strife at home. They had Crimea so losing it with his special military exercise in Ukraine would be a massive hit to his image within russia. I think Ukraine should hit the Kerch bridge again. that would be a huge psychological blow to putie. Maybe the day before any meeting between the 2.
There is not much russia can do to Ukraine in the areas it controls. They have already razed them. Ukraine, however, has a target rich environment to work in. If they open the flood gates with their long range weapons this will get very interesting. We will know how effective they are when putie starts flashing the nuke card.
