I don't think they can. Other than nuclear weapons of course.
You are more informed about this than I. They don't have the ballistic capacity to hit Kyiv or other cities? Or missiles that can travel a few hundred miles, properly guided?
I truly don't know. Of course, the nuclear option would be a madman's scenario, which at this stage I would not rule out.

Apparently not, or at least not very good ones. Plus Ukrainians shoot down 60-70%. Haven't managed to establish any air superiority either.
The reports of mass grave(s) being found in newly liberated areas where some were tortured are distressing.

Will these findings be treated as War Crimes? How do you bring the Generals and Putin to face justice?
Not easily, but the International Criminal Court has triad these types of crimes in absentia before. Assuming that there was convictions it would, in the very least, mean that the convicted would never be able to leave Russia again without risking arrest.

What does he think he is gaining with all this? I know the cliche that power corrupts, but it seems it also induces lunacy.
I used to say he was very smart. Evil, but smart. This is proving me so wrong; he is sinking an entire nation.

And with winter approaching, and Russia having secured Oil and Gas purchases from China, let's see how committed Europe will be once the cold starts.
Is Russia about to make the same mistake that the Germans made in WWII, and Napoleon before them, and fight a war in that part of the world in winter?
I don't know. My point is that, with winter coming, and Europe still very dependent on Russian O&G, we will have to see if the EU will still deliver arms and supplies to Ukraine.
Germany can't build enough coal-powered plants in such short notice.
Didn't Germany nationalize two Rosneft(sp) facilities?
