I really hope you are wrong about Russia coming out on top initially. I also think that since it took them almost two weeks to take a major city (which may or may not switch hands), and the combination of sanctions versus the supposed heavy military losses, that Ukraine will at least force a ceasefire dividing the country's control. But I wouldn't be surprised if you are right.

Only time will tell for sure, I guess.
