I’m guessing the country gets partitioned, giving Russia the buffer state it’s looking for.

I also think Russia’s in the first phase. A reconnaissance in force with the boot coming down hard in the coming days. Putin’s not the sole decision maker here. General Staff, DefMin are involved. I don’t know if Chechnya’s hunter brigades have been deployed yet. They were called up. I’m afraid they haven’t really started the assault on the cities yet. I really hope I’m proven wrong. Those Ukrainian citizens handed all those mockracy weapons are going to get slaughtered.
