I’ve kinda wondered what even is the end goal for Russia. What do they consider their win condition? Let’s say Ukraine surrenders and submits to Russian control. That’s not the people. That’s just the government. I can see all sorts of guerilla warfare by the people happening then. And from stateless entities, it’ll be even harder to tamp down.

They did it in Chechnya before, just get a “governor” that continues to crush dissent
Russia has a lot of experience in crushing dissent, I’m sure they’ve got a plan there.
They originally wanted to fully conquer Ukraine, I think now they’d settle for the freezing of the front lines.
Don’t think that would be an issue after the government surrenders
