Not very likely:
Ukrainian troops allegedly told Russian forces "f*** you" before being killed for refusal to surrender
The soldiers who reportedly defied the Russian troops will be posthumously awarded as "Heroes of Ukraine," President Zelensky announced.www.cbsnews.com
considering "magic of numbers" you are exactly right this is most probable scenario - but war is little bit more than just simple equation with just one possible solution.... we will see what result will be this time
Nothing personal. It's business, Comrade.Interesting…

Then out spoke brave Horatio,I know its from the movie Robin Hood Prince if Thieves, but there is some truth to the saying that a "A man fighting for his lands is worth ten trained soldiers."
Saw another news article where the man told the reporter, "We are now desperate." A desperate man is a dangerous man with nothing to lose and will fight to the end to defend what is his as happened in Afghanistan.Saw an article today about an 80 year old man volunteering to fight Russian invaders . When asked why by a reporter he said he was fighting them so his grandchildren did not have to later.
I know its from the movie Robin Hood Prince if Thieves, but there is some truth to the saying that a "A man fighting for his lands is worth ten trained soldiers." Look at Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm not saying Ukraine can beat Russia militarily round for round, but they can certainly make it costly enough that support back in Russia falters.
Can you spell "Barbarossa" backwards?
Then out spoke brave Horatio,
Captain of the gate.
"To every man upon this earth,
death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better,
than facing fearsome odds,
for the ashes of his fathers,
and the temples of his gods."
Vive Ukraine!

I can just see Putin now:i fear whats in the near future if Russia is allowed to keep any territory it seizes as it seems to be on a long term " bite and hold" strategy on its western borders and how far west will it be allowed to march ?
the more statements i hear from the UN / NATO the more i see the scene in Team America where Puppet Hans Blix tells the Puppet Kim Jung
"we will be very angry with you and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are ! "
i do not know the answer and do not want WW III but i fear we are sacrificing Ukraine.

Very true unfortunatelyI see no positive outcome for Ukraine without NATO intervention which we know is not going to happen.
Channel Islands too?I can just see Putin now:
"The East-West Germany partition line at a bare minimum, but, given past antagonisms, I best make It the Rhine, for safety's sake. But then there's 1812. Hmmm, how about the Atlantic coast? Better clean out those pesky Scandinavians too, while I'm at it."
BoB revisited?
May just be, but they'll all know it was the fascist West and NATO that did it to them, not their beloved "Uncle Vlad".The Russian people are going to suffer to. The Russian economy is going to go so far down the toilet it may no longer be viable. It will no longer be a modern state.
