I think from the western perspective we have this all wrong.

Russia only wants to annex the eastern parts of the country, and do to rest of Ukraine what the US and NATO did to Afghanistan and Iraq. With this perspective they're very much on track with what they want to accomplish.

Russia is going to leave most of western Ukraine in a power vacuum and instability and let the world deal with it.

You're absolutely correct, and people downvoting you aren't the ones who know about NATO's war crimes. Putin does not want that for his people.

It's telling that people are not calling for kicking Saudi Arabia off of SWIFT. Or explaining how NATO has been used to bully and attack weaker countries. Iraq comes to mind.
