Well, if that's the case, you may continue to get your bigger war. [the real beauty of the pro-way/Kyiv position (Russia won't act re: further escalation) is you won't have to admit you're wrong, if you end up being wrong] It's strange though: if Russia is struggling as much as we are told, surely they would be willing to bend to reasonable negotiations in order to regain peace. Ukraine has the west on it's side - future disagreements would be costly for Russia (especially with Sweden/Norway joining the bunch).
