The bizarre angle to all this is that Putin had the chance to try to prop up his favoured regime in Kiev relatively easily back in 2014 when the Ukrainian state apparatus was riddled with Yanukovych supporters and its armed forces were still relatively weak.

Now with Zelenskyy in place with a clear democratic mandate, stingers, javelins and drones supplied from the west along with effective command and control...

No one in the East voted for him so it's hardly a clear democratic mandate.

Two endings to this.
One is that the west continues with its appeasement strategy and allows Putin to invade non NATO sovereign states ad infinitum. That’s probably the most likely. Ending two is NATO declaring war on Russia.
Can’t see any realistic third outcome.

Ending two is a death toll in the hundreds of millions.

If Ending two comes to pass, the third ending will be the human race decimated.
