Let's see when they run out of Ukrainians to throw at the Russians. Then you'll have your answer.
Apart from trying regime change at the start of the war, Russia has made no attempt, or statement, or taken any action, which would suggest that Russia is planning now, or in the future, to invade all of Ukraine. The population of Ukraine is around 39? million. Ukraine has not lowered the conscription age. Therefore, there will ALWAYS be a Western Ukraine, and with such a population, ignoring all the false narratives and propaganda, Ukraine can hold out, literally, for years. What that means is that we will fast forward to 5 years from now and things will either be the same(unlikely) or worse(likely).
I hope everyone is comfortable because this is going to be a long long time.
I welcome any opposing views from anyone.
