Oh i don't think Russia or more like Putin will "Give In" willingly, circumstances will dictate, If the Russian bodybags keep piling up this will be a huge factor. ATM the Kremlin have virtually sewn up all the dissent within Russia, In fact its more like the old USSR in that respect but you cant keep out the modern world forever and as Phil says going down the total war route won't happen because economies are so interlink, Even Russia's. Ideal scenario would be for Putin to have and serious illness by falling out of a window but if that happened what sort of person would take over? Someone even worse? Two people they need to get rid of that i think would help is the person who runs the Wagner Group and the Chechen leader, They seem to have too much influence over Putin, Those leaders in the Self Appointed Republics in Eastern Ukraine are just pupputs, Just like that annoying turd in Belarus.
On a side note for the West upping their contributions and more modern weapons, There's nothing like testing these weapons in a proper war scenario to see how they do, You can test all you like in peace time but a real ground war must be a real "Bonus" for Western powers and the manufactuers of these weapons and a chance to iron out any problems that come up.
