If Russia wins do they get all of Ukraine or just the eastern region?
I'm not an expert but I don't think Russia
wants the whole of Ukraine, never did. But may be forced cancel Ukraine as a country. They could have canceled the state at any time I think, just bomb Zelensky and all the politicians. Probably some fear of a WWIII too if they go too aggressive. So they hope for a settlement that seems secure and lasting but it seems impossible to me at this point. So more military destruction it is then. Trump was on board with the Russians at Anchorage, saying "ceasefires typically don't last" but has vacillated every way since then.
