^ Sorry Matata but what corner was Putin backed into? He thought Ukraine was going to invade Russia or something?
At this point even if Ukraine conceded right now, the net cost of this to Russia is so huge, it will probably take a decade or more for them to recover. The economic destruction from this will linger in Russia for a long time after peace is resolved. Its not like Ukraine is an economic superpower that can offset the harm that Russia's economic implosion will do.
