#1 I have believed this all along;
"The first is to have nothing to include. To do this, the entire territory of Ukraine must either be liberated by Russia or divided between Russia on the one hand and a number of European countries (Poland, Romania and/or Hungary) on the other". The west has no credibility. Russia is in no hurry. No threats to their nation or Russians living elsewhere. Russia will continue to achieve complete and total surrender. Either the Western world works with Russia and China or they will not gain access to world markets. Isolated and defunct. Currently the West writes checks with their mouths they cannot honor.

#4 To do this, the entire territory of Ukraine must either be liberated by Russia...

Taking all of Ukraine would certainly give the Russians a good defensive position against NATO but that would make them responsible for Ukraine which is a bit of a basket case already, plus it means dealing with all the Ukrainian hostility that action would generate.

Occupying the portion east of the Dniepr gives the Russians a solid defensible border and frees them of any reliance on NATO living up to agreements. After NATO deliberately *bleep*ed the Russians with the Minsk agreements, I doubt the Russians will put a lot of trust in any treaty. It will arrive slowly and at great cost, but I predict this will be the end state.
