Once they are annexed, Russia territory may be defended by a declaration of war - and then Putin sends in the actual Russian Army, rather than the conscripted forces in the Special Operation. Russia was constrainted by the Russian Special Operation that did not permit actual regualr Military units from the fight. This annexation will be denied by the Ukraine, and then there will what Putin will cal WAR.

So that T-90M tank captured by Ukraine this week was driven by conscripts? Interesting. Actually, you’ve got it backwards. Conscripts are not supposed to fight in Ukraine. It’s the regular Russian contract soldiers being minced by NATO weapons in Ukraine for now six months.
Just a friendly suggestion but you want to do your homework before war gaming this one out.
Thank you.
The West must ask itself this question: “Is it worth it?” is a world war, conventional or Nuke or a bit of both, worth Ukraine ego? If We are just fighting Russia, and just in Ukraine, its a win for the west. But, what if other nations get involved? NATO could well become a liability if say Greece and Turkey start to battle each other—or if Serbia Joins with Russia? Russia’s greatest ally is waiting in the wings—general Winter. China is also a wind card—they may sit it out and sell to both sides or join the fray seizing Taiwan as well and moving on Vietnam? What if Russia blows up the oil pipeline in Alaska? Or has sabotage teams in place, begin to take out factories that make weapons? It is a dark concept. No, this is not good. We have forgotten the horrors of World War. This time it will not just stay far away but be in our backyard. I hope to heaven I am wrong on this. I just feel a lot of folks are about to die! Thanks Joe Biden, Thanks NEOCONs, a new order is coming I fear.
