#1 I doubt whether Ukraine has enough to do a full scale offensive. The battle front is very long, probably nearly 1000 miles or so.

Probably will try to take part of one oblast, maybe two.

#2 ^ Would make sense. Best hopes is that someone sane and willing to do best for Russia, not USSR, takes him out. Likelihood? Small, but limited strategic defeats might make someone step up.
