I don't think Putin is going to leave Ukraine. His credibility and even his own life is possibly on the line here, so he may not see complete defeat as an option. Can Ukrainians sustain this rate of casualties? 50 deaths in a couple hours. They've fought bravely, but how long can you really keep this up and is this really a sustainable strategy? And will Russian support for the war grow with the 4 annexed areas in Ukraine (that have supposedly now voted to join the Russian Federation) becoming a part of the Russian Federation according to Putin? My position hasn't changed. I still want to see an end to the war.

A majority of American likely voters support U.S. pursuing negotiations “as soon as possible” to end the war in Ukraine, "even if Ukraine must make some compromises with Russia". Only 32 % somewhat or strongly oppose that idea. So by AF standards, only 32 % are not Putin puppets and have passed the first stage of the purity test.
