The only way Russia can win is if the west loses it's resolve and agrees to Russia's demands to negotiate a cease fire and lock in their territorial gains. I don't see that happening.

Russia will never give up Crimea, which it annexed in 2014 after the US/EU engineered coup of the duly elected government of Ukraine. It also spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas.

Really, well it was fun watching all the Russians fleeing Crimea in the past week.
