I don't see how the negotiating position is even remotely on Zelensky's side here. Ukraine is completely cooked without US support.

Look at Afghanistan. Russia doesn’t have the troops or resources to occupy something as big as Ukraine even with NK support. Ukraine would bleed them dry

Those aren't even remotely similar situations. The population of the conquered territory is already essentially Russian. Holding it will barely be an inconvenience.
I've never been convinced that they even want to hold the rest of Ukraine, but they can unleash much more destruction upon it than they have already.

They annexed parts they do not even have control over that are outside the Donbass? Confused with this statement. Crimea was the ethic home of the Crimean Tartars and they annexed that sooo they do not really care

I was just thinking about the newly conquered territory, but I don't think they'll have any trouble holding Crimea either.

Ehhh there issue there is that the bridge that they currently have... no one in the West would build.... hell I dont even think China would... the land bridge is under constant threat of bombardment now by Ukraine with the Frankin Sam system... I mean it is quite remarkable what they have done and developed.
Ukraine has the stronger navy in this war and they dont even have any real ships beyond mostly river based designs. Last time I checked they had even reclaimed several oil platforms from the Russians.

I guess we'll just have to see how it all plays out.
