I am curious as to the alternative universe in which many commentators appear to be living. As it's clear the USA has no further capacity to support Ukraine due to total political dysfunction and as it's clear Europe as no capacity to support Ukraine from a materiel perspective, I fail to see how Russia can't win the present conflict and thereafter go on to take the Baltic nations. There is no European nation with any meaningful military capacity to confront Russia even if the political will were there - which it very clearly is not. As the USA is incapable of facing any strategic challenge now, and as Trump will almost certainly pull the USA out of NATO either de facto or de jure, this means Russia will be unopposed. That's the real world. Everything else is delusional fairytale-telling.
