Russia will keep on fighting to achieve it's SMO.
Stated goals:
Demilitarization: A significant reduction of Ukraine's armed forces, prohibition of nuclear weapons and other offensive military infrastructure, and a ban on foreign military bases on its territory.
Denazification: Eradication of neo-Nazi ideology, which Russia claims has a significant influence in Ukraine, and the repeal of discriminatory laws.
Protection of Russian-speakers: Protecting Russian-speaking populations in eastern Ukraine, a goal cited in justification for the initial intervention in 2022.
Obtaining more of Ukraine's land or the destruction of Ukraine is the consequences of war.
I do hope they don't take the Poltava Oblast as this is where FXPO operations is located. (Near Dnipro river). Consider it RIP for FXPO as a business if Russia takes the Poltava oblast.
