I can't imagine what the end game is going to be in Ukraine. The biggest factor will undoubtedly be that Russia wants to have some sort of control over the country, and that just seems such an extreme position (in keeping with starting the war) that I can't see any compromise ever going far enough to satisfy that.
There are newspaper reports that suggest an internal 'coup' taking over power from Putin might be in the offing, but that must be pure speculation. I can't see that, and history does not show that dictators get overthrown that easily, if at all. Putin appears to silence any criticism never mind about insurrection so we should not hold our breath.
In other news, I have had a rubbish cold/flu type of infection since returning from holiday but hopefully on it's way out. Haven't cycled into the office for about a month, but plan to tomorrow.
