I doubt Putin can go that far politically/internally so therein lies the rub, whether it is the Ukraine military that pushes that far on their own or Russians/Putin falling apart on their own, it will be problematic in any case. I really don't see a clean end to this, sadly. Much needless suffering and decades of rebuilding and everyone involved weakened and crippled. Not to mention the collateral damage to many beyond RU and Ukraine.
