Prigozhin's maybe-fake coup suggests that Putin's regime is not as secure as he would like us to believe. It follows that Ukraine has the hope of winning the war and kicking Russian troops out of Ukraine.

The article mentions the debate among historians about whether the hard terms in the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, caused widespread suffering that helped Hitler seize power. I think there is a miscommunication in that discussion. The "humiliation" of Germany, that helped Hitler seize power, was the requirement for Germany to pay reparations that it could not possibly pay. Every German felt the suffering from this.

A total military defeat for the Putin forces would not amount to a humiliation like that.
