It's very small pieces that are being taken.
Back in '23 I claimed that no large city will change hands in this war. It's a war against the poor first and foremost. Cities is where wealth is concentrated. If poccnr could really endanger any large cities then a piss deal would be signed in hours. But poccnr cant do that, its all just football-sized pieces of farmland in bumfuck nowhere.
I think both countries are matched and have human resources for eternal war with no meaningful movement of frontline. But both lack resolve to push for victory, with or without wectern help. The only thing the wectern help was changing was the duration to obvious stalemate, and having help extended that time. Ceasing help will bring stalemate sooner.
