Kuzmenko, Hoglander, Raty and a first is probably more realistic. They will likely want a center prospect.

This is true but I'd argue Russia has invested too much to simply withdraw. They have tanked their economy, international relations will be even more strained, decimated their military strength and have damaged their position as a super power. Putin needs to win or else he won't be able to Weasel out the damage he caused. Sooner or later something has to give and I fear international support seems to be waning which will only benefit Russia.

My question is how long could both sides keep holding out at this point? It seems no matter how much Ukraine destroys Russia just keeps throwing more. I understand that Russia is getting support from their allies as well but you would think eventually the well would run dry.
