Pure propaganda.

I'm sure Russian military wants to rush in and have the REST of their land forces destroyed. All-out-war for what purpose? To annex their 'brothers' into a greater Slavic nation...that will have to be rebuilt from the ground up, while all their 'Slavic brothers' are stewing for revenge?

They're looking for any way to stop the carnage and appear as anything but the incompetent losers.

The problem the Russians have is that if they can't get Ukraine to agree to not only a temporary ceasefire but actual peace, the West has no reason to lift any sanctions. And long-term, they'll apply be eaten up by a horribly nasty guerilla war in Ukraine. They'll also have triggered the rearmament of NATO.

At that point, they'll have no recourse but to become China's economic batch because they won't have any alternatives. The entire basis of Russian Grand strategy for send for centuries has been playing off the East against the West. But once all ties are severed with the west, there is nobody left to counterbalance the monster on their southeastern border. They'll have to submit to Chinese economic terms, follow Chinese foreign policy, etc. A complete disaster for Russia.
