I think the ambitions to take the South of Ukraine are not the main, but the accompanying goal of Russia in this operation. Moreover, it appeared already during the operation due to the unwillingness of Ukraine to voluntarily lay down its arms. The stronger and longer Ukraine resists, the worse the terms of the peace agreement will be for it. Russia does not need a truce for 10-15-20 years, in order to then again step on the same Ukrainian rake. Putin will not repeat Khrushchev's mistake in rehabilitating Bandera in the 1950s.
