One could argue that Putin has already lost.Well our policy has always been respecting int recognized borders besides our neutral position in both world wars even still EU countries ask Iran to mediate to end the war, from that position we've gotten to this , we would prefer to be absent in the UNGA than casting vote about annexations by Russia ... which is against a clear active diplomacy that we expect from our foreign policy apparatus. our neutral position got us invaded so it is like tightrope walk and what we get in return gotta be worth it really.
If Putin had managed to take Kiev and then shake hand with Moldova then he would not have stopped there ... I don't see any clear exit strategy over here by Russians for sure the US and NATO would continue to supply Ukraine which makes the war a never ending one .. Putin has lost his opportunity at the beginning of the war to achieve it max goals.
Maybe we could call it new Berlin wall and for sure the US would do whatever it takes to distance EU and Russia ... both sides are guilty and we've jumped in middle.
Instead of invading Ukraine, Russia should have proceeded its plan of gas pipe and expanded its relation with the EU.
Either way, Russia must've offered something sweet to the national security council if if everything the western nations have been saying is true. I suppose they have taken it upon themselves to help Russia and avoid defeat. This conflict would create major opportunities for domestic industry I think they are not willing to give up.
They are only taking about an array of drones, and now missiles, but it can be easily other simple things like shells, atgms, (which Russians would be very familiar with), radios, artillery pieces. Construction alongside their own domestic industry to shore up stock. Most ground equipment of Iran is of Russian origin anyways.
