“After the invasion is over, there is no doubt that Ukraine will join NATO. If there was a toss-up among public - all doubts removed now.”

Well, it remains to be seen just when the invasion will “be over”, and what the end-state will be. It’s possible that Russia will partition the Ukraine by taking the Crimea, go for the entire enchilada, or something in-between.

It’s hard to predict what might happen until we know where Putin is prepared to stop.

You still are going to have Russian enclaves all over the country.

Keep an eye on Odessa.

It is a war of nerves now, who pulls the trigger first, and Russians are losing it quickly. They might be able to keep Crimea, to international outrage, but that is it. The result will be opposite to their goal: NATO troops stationed closer to them and another unfriendly neighbor.
