Either way it’s a loss for Russia. Its military couldn’t defeat a much smaller country that borders it. They wouldn’t stand a chance against any super power nation across the world from it short of using nukes. All the world saw this.

Spin it anyway you like but Russia's land objectives coming in were Donetsk, Lugansk and to land bridge it built from mainland Russia to Crimea.

Russia will end up with all of that.

It's other objective was to demilitarize Ukraine and assure it would end involvement with NATO and don't see anyway Russia isn't getting that in any peace deal.
