China an India need to get off the fence, and stop playing to both sides.
Furthermore, the West needs to strongly indicate that message to them through both words and deeds (such as incenting businesses to deal with alternative Asian countries for their overseas manufacturing needs).
Otherwise, this will in fact drag on for many more months at the expense of more Ukrainian and Russian lives, not to mention a global recession.
Russian men don't want to be inscripted, they are trying to flee Russia. Those who have money may be able to buy their way out. Russians don't care about Ukrainians they only care about themselves.
Putin needs to be taken out by his own regime. To end the war ...Russia just needs to get out of Ukraine...This is all about Putin's ego... and it will be his downfall.
Total control of the Sea of Asov must be Putin’s goal, which quite possibly be supported by the Russian leadership in their Military. We must support Ukraine to prevent this happening. Strategically, for Ukraine’s commerce with so many markets relies on access to those ports.

Putin needs to realize that he is approaching the point where the Kremlin might get a rod from god and no one outside the Kremlin will regret it.

As Putin gets more desperate he may try to use the nukes. He will not go down without a fight. This makes for a very dangerous world. https://www.politico.eu/article/putin-announces-partial-mobilization-russian-reservists-nuclear-threat-conscription-ukraine/

The most dangerous rat is a cornered one.
I think three people in Russia have to authorize the firing of any of their nuclear missles.
But who appointed them.
A tactical nuclear weapon will do a lot of damage, but only if it reaches it’s target.
The West has good intelligence and will know when to install appropriate anti missile systems.
Some will probably get thru, but their originators will not survive.
MAD isn’t it.
If Putin is ousted, is what replaces him even worse?
On the ropes is right. What surprises is that Putin has not been removed.Not just 'thinking Russians' but most Russians must now want him out.
Putin looked unhinged on TV yesterday.
