Putin does not trust the West anymore and Russia is in the driver’s seat. They could gain much more territory of the Russian-speaking oblasts and if the Ukraine army collapses; basically ineffective to defense, Russia is going to take Odessa. This will also embarrass the US military industrial complex in their 10-year agreements and 10 year contracts to build artillery shells basically for nothing if Russia can pull a major victory this summer.
