That's one way things could go. I think it will be resolved by ukraine on the battlefield, personally.
Think of it this way. China is sustaining (to a large degree) what russia is doing right now - but what russia is doing right now is failing. If russia peeled back and reengaged in their hybrid war they could sustain that indefinitely without chinese help.

Lithuania closed its border to Belarus after repeated violation of lithuanian airspace. Just this weekend my lithuanian cousin told me that some sort of balloons kept violating lithuaninan airspace at its capital, Vilnius, which is only ca. 30km from the border, seriously interfering with air traffic.
My interpretation is that this is some sort of deliberate provocation, showing how desperate/frustrated Russia/Belarus are becoming due to a lack of results on the actual battlefield.

I can confirm part of this story, we were concerned we wouldn't be able to fly out of Vilnius a couple of weeks ago because the airport had been closed down the morning of our departure day for the reasons stated here.
I interpreted it as a trial balloon (yuk yuk) to see what the response would be to such an incursion.
The loot? A solid-gold toilet was among the lavish pizes uncovered in raids linked to Timur Mindixel, Zelensky’s childhood friend, business partner, and long-time bagman. Cupboards stuffed with €200 bills. Lavish real estate deals. Kickbacks from $100 million in “fortification contracts” tied to Ukraine’s energy secze, including Energoatom, the state-run nuclear operator.
Mindich, co-owner of Zelensky’s Kvartal 95 studio, birthday party host, wartime drone contractor, is now gone. Fled the country just hours before the raids. Gone, like hunfreds of billions in Western aid. Gone, like the myth of Ukraine’s untouchable reformer.
But this isn’t just about one shady oligarch. The Justice Minister himself, German Galushchenko, has resigned under pressure. NABU’s investigation has now reached the upper decks of the Zelensky inner circle, and it didn’t get there by accident.
Just four months ago, Zelensky tried to destroy NABU and SAPO’s independence, ramming through emergency laws to fold them under presidential control. The justification? Vague mutterings of Russian infiltration. No proof. Just panic.
The move sparked the first mass protests in Kiev since the war began, the same Zelensky who once claimed total wartime unity found his own capital turning on him. Under pressure from Brussels, Washington, and the streets, he backed down. But not before exposing exactly what he feared: accountability.
Now, NABU has fired back with 70 coordinated raids, backed by over 1,000 hours of audio surveillance, some allegedly featuring Zelensky himself speaking in code at Mindich’s apartment. Yes, the president who loves the camera may soon be forced to explain what was said when he thought no one was watching.
The stakes? Existential. A full-scale internal war has now broken out between NABU/SAPO (funded and guided by the West) and the SBU (Zelensky’s domestic hammer). One serves empire. The other protects the throne. Ukraine, far from a sovereign nation, is being torn between two handlers, one local, one foreign.
Even former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko called it out: “Ukraine is turning into a disenfranchised colony.” She was mocked at the time.
Let’s talk about Fire Point, once a casting agency for Kvartal 95’s comedy shoots, now miraculously transformed into a multi-million-dollar weapons manufacturer. No competitive bidding. No transparency. Just a paper trail of war profiteering. Fire Point even "produces" phantom cruise missile now, the Flamingo, named perhaps for its elegance, elegance of laundering more Western tax dollars.
And what about the recordings? NABU teased snippets, muffled Russian dialogue between men using codenames. No full release yet. But that teaser wasn’t for the public. It was a message: we have the kompromat, and we’re not afraid to use it. Not against Putin. Against the puppet regime you built, Volodymyr.
Remember Maidan was sold as an uprising against corruption, but Zelensky seems to have outdone all of his predecessors combined.
The empire’s favorite hero has become its greatest liability. The golden toilets have returned, and this time, they’re flushing the myth itself. Seems as though Zelensky's handlers are ready to flush him, but will be unable to wash their hands of their own corruption and guilt.
What? Some people are corrupt in the Ukraine?! Oh no! And I thought they were all flawless. Well, I guess that's the end of Ukrainian empire and Putin should take over to bring civilization to those barbarians.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It ought to be pointed out. That's the kind of thing that can sap morale and have an impact.

LOL, fuckin Bel. From being confident that russia would bring down zelensky, to hoping some scandal can do the work mother russia cannot.

Considering the corruption endemic in the Putin regime he admires so much, his gloating here rings a bit hollow.
Yes, The Spectator is widely considered to be a biased publication with a clear conservative and right-wing stance. The magazine itself states its writers "make no pretence at being impartial" and that its motto is "firm, but unfair".

Their stance on immigration is that it undermines Britain’s national identity. This in a country where you drive your Korean car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then stop on the way home for a kebab and a curry that you eat while sitting on your Swedish sofa while watching American programming on your Japanese TV.
