[QUOTE="RocksInMyHead, post: 77152710, member: 284142"] To be fair, Russia doesn't appear to want to annex [I]all[/I] of Ukraine, just some parts. Their initial invasion seemed to be aimed at capturing Kyiv as quickly as possible so as to take control of the center of government. Most likely, they would have then installed a puppet regime, leaving Ukraine in a similar situation to Belarus. Some territorial concessions would be "granted" to Russia by the new government (surrender claims to Crimea, transfer Luhansk and Donetsk, and potentially Odessa as well), but an "independent" Ukrainian state would remain as a buffer.
