I don't think Russia has that long. They will run out of money long before then.
Long term, the sanctions and boycotts will do their job and enfeeble Russia. USSR went broke and collapsed in '91 as a result of the collapse in oil price in 1987 and Russia will probably collapse for the same reason - they will run out of money.

That, and killing off, or running off, the working age men.
Russian women may be able to pick up the slack. Who knows?
The “offensive” hasn’t begun. According to competent military analysts not on the mainstream propaganda payroll, they expect the offensive to begin by Feb 15th. What is happening now is forward positioning of supplies and establishing supply lines to support the coming offensive.
And, these experts dismiss the idea that Russia will initiate a “Blitzkrieg” style offensive, on multiple axis’s, and instead focus on single axis tactics, creating a meat grinder style front that overwhelms and destroys everything in its path, while minimizing Russian casualties.
The offensive will examine how defensive forces react, and adjust strategies to inflict the greatest damage. They do not see Russia even attempting to advance all the way to Kiev, but are simply moving the front further west, while continuing to destroy the Ukrainian military’s offensive capability.
As has been the message all along, Russia is not interested in occupying the entire country, and is only interested in rendering Ukraine’s military incapacitated, and eliminating it as a threat to the Donbas region which is now a part of Russia.

So in your expert opinion, is the UAF weaker today than it was on Feb 23rd 2022?

Russia massing 500K soldiers, 1.8K tanks to launch offensive in 10 days: official
I wouldn't be too surprised if Russia did not have some great offensive in mind. Just continue to grind Ukraine down to the point where the West gives them the Afghan treatment.
Starlink should of pulled the plug months ago. How coked up is Ukrainian leadership to not only use starlink connected drones for chemical attacks, but to think it’s a good idea to post a video of it on social media bragging about it. Of course the US will ignore it, it’s bad for our proxy war business.
I’m hearing things such as 300-500k troop, 2000 tanks and fighter planes built up for Russia and offensive within 10 days. Where are the satellite photos of this build up like we all saw back in Jan/Feb 2022? Not a single satellite photo has come out to show this
