The russo-Ukrainian war has now entered a scorching state, and the Russian army is neither offensive nor retreating. Attack, there is a strong defense ahead, and even if you break into the city through attack, you will face a street battle with huge casualties. If there is a retreat, without Putin's permission, the soldiers in the front will certainly not dare. In fact, Putin should now accept it when he sees it is good and quickly withdraw his troops, otherwise it will be more passive to drag it out. Here's why:
It has been more than twenty days since the Russian offensive, still has not captured any major cities, the casualties of the troops are also very large, the goal of the initial rapid occupation of Ukraine has not been achieved, in fact this operation has failed. Persisting is a huge harm and burden to both the Russian people and the Ukrainian people, so it is better to stop the loss in time, admit defeat, and directly withdraw the troops.
Second, the current international pressure is also very large, persist, the Western sanctions will be more and more, it is better to take advantage of the current reconciliation with Ukraine, while easing relations with the West, let the West somewhat relax some sanctions, so that the domestic economy is affected as small as possible, so as to reduce the burden of the domestic people.
Third, as More and More European and American countries aid Ukraine, the next Ukrainian resistance will only become stronger and stronger, while Russia's offensive will only become weaker and weaker.
In short, Before Russia has completely failed, russia hastened to negotiate a settlement with Ukraine, allowing itself to retain some decency, and delaying it any longer will only make the problem more and more complicated.
