I don’t think so, D. I think Ukraine’s successful counteroffensive in the Kharkov region forced them to admit that it’s impossible to fight a war against a resilient, well trained and resupplied opponent over a - maybe - 1500 mile frontline with an army of 200K people. With US satellites and various drones and whatnot, they can always find a thinly manned spot to attack.

Long story short, they’re changing the degree of commitment - and the rules of engagement. The war will become worse - before it gets better. Also, a lot more dangerous - if the Russians become more assertive against the NATO involvement. Which, imo, they may.

That and Putin wants to be able to deploy conscripts in Ukraine without formally declaring war or admitting to deploying conscripts in Ukraine.
