The end has to be in sight for this whole sorry saga. Trying to take an unbiased look at it and all I can see is Russia getting a real battering in Ukraine. Front lines are getting broken through, key targets in Crimea and closer to Moscow are being hit, Putins coat on an ever more shoogly peg.

Even with some of the support in Europe and the US falling away I think it's only a matter of time before something gives.
