For Russia to maintain its security it must take the Black Sea littoral including Odessa. Without Odessa the job is only half-done. Agreed. What's left of Ukraine after all this will have to accept neutral status. Having failed to weaken Russia, NATO is likely to abandon Ukraine. What is left will be picked over by western capitalists. Fortunately, the west is not serious about letting Ukraine join NATO. If it were, the Russians might be tempted to take all of Ukraine. No Ukraine, no NATO membership. They wouldn't want to do that. Occupying a hostile western Ukraine wouldn't be worth the candle.
