This is the big gamble by Putin. These troops will also change the game in Ukraine. The troops are also conscripts and even former prison inmates. Will Ukraine hold? This is why I call this a gamble. Failure this time will make Putin a failed leader in the eyes of some in Russia. It will also put him deeper in a quagmire. Hope for Ukraine still holds for me and the citizens of Ukraine will hopefully keep their resolve in light of the new Spring offensive.
