A former US general has stated that Russia could be defeated by Christmas.
The commanding general of the US Army Europe told The Times that the Russian lines were collapsing.
The Russians will be pushed beyond the February 23 line by the end of the year based on all the things we are seeing.
According to The Times, a senior British government source said that Putin's forces would be driven out of the Donbas by the end of the year.
The Russian military has been defeated.
The former commander who commanded the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan said that the Ukrainian military might be able to regain control of Kherson, but it will take a long time.
Other experts warn that the cold may limit the military's advances in the war.
"For Ukraine, it is a race against time to seize as much territory as possible before the start of winter and before better-trained Russian reinforcements, including new units, reach the front," said a researcher at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
He said that the first order of business was to conduct orderly tactical withdrawals.
It is clear that the Russian military project is not going to plan, with almost none of Putin's objectives achieved over the course of eight months.
The situation has forced Putin to announce an unpopular draft to compel more people to fight, prompting an exodus of military-age men from his country and undermining his iron grip on power.
