Winter has arrived in this part of Ukraine. It is cold and the snow is starting to pile up .... so the war is going to taper off. Ukrainian soldiers are going to be picked off here and there, but they are going to left alone in misery in their underground bunkers for the rest of the winter.

As for later .... if there is no political solution by springtime .... and I am predicting that there will be no political solution .... Ukraine will try again to win using military force ... and it is going to be very messy. But they will not succeed.
