Quotes from the news wire:
The Southern Military District -- in Donetsk, Luhansk, Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol -- these are the best troops in the Russian army. And they always work. They're designed to fight NATO, so the forces that were committed to the Kyiv encirclement suggests that it was a goal that either Russia thought would be easily achieved, or they overestimated the capabilities of those forces. So that leads, in part, to the conclusion that an encirclement of the Ukrainian troops in the JFO is part of the goal that Russia is looking to achieve. And the movements of Russian forces do seem to suggest that that is the case.

If we look at these maps, it's clear that Russian forces have actually advanced a long way into a very big country. They have taken quite a few towns, so there are now a lot more Ukrainian citizens living under Russian rule than there were three weeks ago, regardless of how many Russian vehicles have blown up, or how many Russian soldiers are killed, there's also likely to be a very high number of Ukrainians that have suffered a similar fate.

If we look, historically, at authoritarian regimes that perform poorly in a military setting, the don't tend to change their behavior in a positive direction afterwards. So the question might be that if the Ukrainians say,' OK, we will be neutral, just get out,' the Russians might say' No, you have to give us Donetsk and Luhansk. That might be bearable for Ukraine, perhaps, in order to stop the war, but what if, for instance, 10 years down the line, Ukraine has advanced on a significant military modernization ? Or the next Russian president wants to prove his worth, and they conduct another war ? There are a lot of scenarios to think through in terms of what ending this war could lead to.
