Calling Putin's Bluff

The Russian fleet has backed down from live ammo exercises off the Irish Coast, Antony Blinken delivered the US diplomatic position on Russia's demands, and several countries have stepped up the supply of weapons and expertise to Ukraine. All this means that Putin's gamble has not paid off. But is he willing to retreat?  That we shall see. 

A NY Times editorial by Yulia Latynina seems to think he has lost his gamble.
