He won't take Ukraine, not because of Ukrainian soldiers or NATO intervention, but because the Russian army are doing the bare minimal.
He sacked EIGHT high ranking army officials today because it's not going to plan, it'll never go to plan, they're arsing around until someone bumps him off.
They could have taken all the major cities and Kiev on day one or two.
He probably issued orders ten days ago to use sarin but the soldiers aren't gonna be arsed with that crap.
A lot of them have buried their uniforms in the woods and ditched their vehicles.
Probably why there's been a fifty mile tailback for ten days, most of them have knobbed off to Poland.
You're always going to get one or two diehard commies following orders and shelling, bombing and making a nuisance of himself but he won't last long, if Ukrainian soldiers don't get him his commanding officer will pop him in the back of the knapper when no one's looking.
Putin's finished, he knows it already, his army are disobeying him...all that firepower against two dozen farmers with pitchforks?
It should have been over on day one
