This is pretty much undeniable unfortunately. It's why he's invading the Ukraine in the first place.
Putin will continue to push on, and on, and on, until the West grows a pair.
I fear for Ukraine now. The Ukrainians are losing momentum. Any positive breakthrough for Ukraine will have to come from the sanctions hitting Russia hard. Because Russia doesn't look like they'll quit.
I did read that both sides have agreed to humanitarian corridors to allow people to leave and aid to get into areas. At least that is a positive.

My thinking too. This is gonna get worse before it gets better, and is going to end with catastrophic consequences for Ukraine.
However, if they valiantly fight, there is hope that Ukraine will continue to exist and can hopefully become sovereign again after a regime change in Moscow. If not, their name will be forgotten as has been for many parts of Russia.

At what point does NATO actually get involved? Now they are bombing nuclear power plants. I'm stunned at the lack of action by all. What's the point in providing aid when you could actually stop Ukrainians lives being turned upside down.
