I think though Putin understands that such a victory in Ukraine, in the end would be a Pyrrhic Victory.

How so if the Russians end up with all the territory they hoped to incorporate into the Russian Federation and if Ukraine is forced to demilitarize and remain a neutral country?

Those were Russia's primary objectives going into the war.

They would be completely isolated though politically.

They basically already have Belarus anytime they want, why go through all the trouble of taking Ukraine?
