The Impossibility of Reconquering Crimea

The idea of reconquering all of the territory and including Crimea is not likely to happen. And then, secondarily, even if it could happen, it wouldn't necessarily be desirable. The same things that worked for the Ukrainians when the Russians were on the offensive will now work for the Russians when they're on the defensive. I mean, look at how the Russians have been held up in Bákmut for five months now. So, it doesn't look terribly likely.
