#5 I see three likely endings, the order is random, not in likelyhood or preference of outcome:
(1) Russians run out of material and retrench back to the independent areas and Crimea (with or without a peace treaty). Those areas become parts of Russia.
(2) Afghan option. Russia occupies all of Ukraine and the people fight for a decade with support from the west. Eventually after a long time, perhaps a decade, the Russians pull back but keep those same independent areas and Crimea.
(3) Putin is removed and Russian troops are brought back to Russia. Status of the independent areas and Crimea may be returned to Ukraine in hopes of rejoining the world community. Then again they may not be. Putin could possibly be removed by someone worse than him, no way to tell at this point.
