 But what if the robot dogs are ethnically Ukrainian, and they built themselves?  Even if every man woman and child in Ukraine were killed, the ethnically Ukrainian nazi robot dogs could keep on fighting the war with NATO funding and targetting, with homages to Zelenskyy projected against piles of rubble that once were buildings while T2 robots rise from the ashes and join the new generation skynet-connected drone fleets to take out Russia.  Russia has no chance against the Terminator! Ukraine wins!

(ok it is late, i'm just typing the next crazy word that pops into my head)

More seriously, as long as Ukraine refuses to talk to Russia, the fact that the war continues instead of settles somehow is now their doing isn't it? And that has been the case for a long time now. This is the main reason I don't see Ukraine as defending itself anymore. 
 Well Ukraine can't even manufacture its own bullets so robot dogs might be a stretch.

I don't really think Ukraine talking to Russia will change much- Russia has its plan and is going to see it through. 
 This....this is what would happen.
