No nato membership for Ukraine.
Freedom of donbas and Eastern republics to break away.
Crimea considered Russian territory.
Please tell me where Russia failed to meet their stated objectives. They could have flattened Kiev, not doing so isn't a failure as that was never an objective.
That's probably what Russia would want to end the conflict. Zelensky would probably think otherwise. Putin might have that now but the bombs and guns are still aiming at his troops. I'm talking about what the end of the war would look like.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
