      Amusingly, I predicted this exact scenario right at the start of the war, looks like mainstream western press finally figure it out

      Nobody knows whether Russia plans to take over all of Ukraine or merely keep the areas friendly to Russia and make the rest of Ukraine west’s problem. The latter seems a more plausible scenario to me. Russia will likely take areas like Kharkov and Odessa because there is a strong pro Russian sentiment there. Then western Ukraine where the nationalists are will become a rump state without any industry or agriculture. This will become an ongoing burden for the west because the state won’t be able to function on its own, and will require constant flow of money to prevent it from collapsing.

        Yeah, obviously Russia always knew better than to permanently occupy western Banderite concentrations. So Europe will inherit a nest of angry, armed fascists who feel betrayed. Good luck with that.

          The one consistent theme throughout the war has been that western analysts have solely focused on considering the negative consequences for Russia without ever stopping to think what the negative consequences for the west might be.
