Just two more counteroffensives to stop the Russian spread

1. That is a shitty attempt at making a slow the spread reference. You can do better than that.

2. If Ukraine digs in and spends the time between now and the summer of 2025 building its forces it could easily build a force to launch and sustain a major counterattack. A year is a lot of time to use ATACAMs, western cruise missiles, and drones to destroy key infrastructure targets like the 12 bridges and one tunnel which I previously pointed out several times that would isolate the Donbas from Mother Russia. It is also a lot of time to repair its equipment. Ukraine should also have taken delivery of most of if not all of the pledged 93 F16s from NATO by then in addition to the 120 combat aircraft it currently has.

It obviously wasn't a shitty reference if you got it

And to your second point obviously they could. Is it likely? I doubt it. There has been a lot of movement lately in terms of money, weapons, direct involvement posturing, talk of long term commitments to Ukraine, etc. Russia has been doing a lot of the same type of signaling that they are "all-in" in their own way. At risk of sounding too US-centric, with an election coming up in November I think the two sides are gearing up to at least go to the table before then, and Ukraine's financial backers are giving them as much ammo as they can to get a decent deal. Whether that results in peace or not, who knows.
