I hope @AlexanderHoward is close with his timeline. All of the past changes happened because of citizens taking to the streets. Relentlessly, and in the face of an intractable government. Civil unrest is imperative to change. There is a high cost. Act before the price becomes worse.

All but the last two have been broken. Putin may not use the nuclear option if he needs workable land. He well may in a fit of spite or to send a message to the rest of Europe to stand down.

Son sent me the photo of Victory (still a cat).
Air raid alert,
drones are attacking Kyiv as usual.
That means I will worry again.
Yes, I need to come back home.

The oath is to the Constitution. No king, no emperor, no tyrant. No president.
Do not comply in advance. Stand in the way of those who would subvert what the flag represents.
We do not kneel to a would-be king.
