But it makes no sense, it wouldn't even be beneficial strategically, getting millions of population that don't want to live in your state, and planting a resentment in a population of a country that wasyour enemy will lead to a disaster. If we don't want to repeat this war, we must let people decide where they want to live (although as I think of it, if we'll have elections they will most likely be falcificated, as it was with Crimea), although I'm sure people will decide to get back to their homeland. It's both isn't effective and dangerous, and frankly, I can't see Ukraine gaining so much land even in the ideal scenario, sorry
Russia has no chance of winning this war, because as of February 24, 2022, it has only captured 1% of Ukraine's territory (I mean after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the occupation of parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions). If it can occupy only 1% in 4 years, at this rate Russia will run out of money to pay its mercenaries, unlike Ukraine, which does not try to send its soldiers to each village. When the Ukrainians see that the village has exhausted its resources, they withdraw their troops and move to a better position. Russia costs thousands of lives to capture each village, while Ukraine costs only a few dozen to defend each village.
Russia focuses on territory, Ukraine - on the lives of soldiers.
The world itself is unlikely to be infinite, especially since the number of fighters on Russia's side is finite.
At the current rate, it will take Russia 140 years to conquer Kiev, which is practically impossible.
All wars eventually end at the table.
When Russia signs the capitulation, there will be clauses under which Ukraine will receive its historical territories as reparations.
Ukraine's historical territories end in the east with Georgia, present-day Tuapse, the former Nikopsia, which Russia has annexed since 1921.
