And with it, control of the Western Black Sea, the shipping lanes of Odessa, and undersea oil and gas fields.

The only "wins" for the Ukraine are in areas the Russians abandoned that they see the strategic importance in defending and so they could fed more Ukrainians into their meat grinder.
Again -- ALL annexed territory will remain part of the Russian Federation. The only question is how much more territory, if any, will the Ukrainians lose.
When all that comes to pass, you're going to have a lot of explaining to do. Like, why have you constantly spread Biden regime propaganda and stood by the idiotic foreign policy of Victoria Nuland.
Why have you constantly spread Putin regime propaganda and stood by the atrocious war crimes of that mafia gang, even as they drive Russia over a cliff, and violate every single article of the Geneva Convention?
Lol just a rock, then why did they bother taking it In the first place
Assault on Kiev and then following good will gesture was what just a gift of tons of scrap iron and sunflower fertilizer
Kharkiv was a blood bath for Russia rivaling the failed Kiev attack
Kherson was definitely a good will gesture which is what army’s did when they are on the offensive and doing well
Last few months Russia has lost 1000s of pieces of equipment 10s of thousands of soldiers and gained a few meters and a couple of small utterly destroyed(by Russia) settlements full of Russian brothers as Putin would say.
Mobilizing 100s of thousands of new troops is necessary to defeat a defeated nation? Lol sounds right
Hey how about that bridge you claimed months ago was just slightly damaged lots of trains crossing that “slightly” damaged bridge right? Not so much and the factory that build parts for the bridge has had a smoking accident.
Russia has lost more equipment that they can ever hope to recover and besides the fact that they seem to love to attack with what they have in small groups that like to get close together to take selfies then get hit by one Excalibur taking them all out and their crews, any offensive action will be an attempt at ww2 style human wave attacks minus the overwhelming armor support.
The leopards are hungry bring it on
Lastly you may be right that Russia ends up with basically what they started with but I would bet against it. If Putin had just gone for those oblasts he might have succeeded without destroying his military, killing hundreds of thousands of his and and his fellow brethren Ukrainians and destroying vast swaths of Ukraine
But there are nazis so I guess it’s all good
