Russia is collapsing or they wouldn’t be talking. Ukrainians are against the deal proposed by Trump, because they’d be doing all the giving and Russia would escape without consequence. The “winning” is mostly propaganda and actually reveals Russia’s weakness. They’re the ones begging for a deal!
Russia has been "collapsing" for over 2 years now. They simply have too many internal natural resources to be sanctioned to death.
Sanctions worked in South Africa because there were points of attack, industrial hardware, military hardware, and the majority of the population was against the government. None of that applies to Russia.
You sound like the Japanese newspapers in 1942/43 ignoring Midway and calling the withdrawal from Guadalcanal "a troop transfer"
