If Russia are annexing territory and then abandoning it when the Ukrainians launch a counteroffensive, if that's really happening, that's as concrete proof you get that the tide really has turned. That's as disastrous as it gets for Russia from a propaganda point of view. The other regions that wanted to be part of Russia and now are part of Russia will now be asking if they can actually rely on Russia to protect them. They'll lose the trust of the people they need the trust of more than anyone else... those who live in the disputed territories.

If Russia lose this war Putin is surely finished.
