All available evidence seems to suggest that Russia has no intentions of taking the land bridge and calling it a day. They’re vocally aiming to take the whole of Ukraine. They may be trying to wait out western support but it feels shaky. Perhaps with a trump presidency.

Ukraine’s increasing ability to hit deep targets suggests to me this strategy of Russia’s will not work. The offensive pace is too slow for the immense economic costs.

Putin (following Dugin) has expressed the goal of building a Russian empire stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon. I suppose that's just sabre-rattling; but Leningrad is very exposed, at the end of a long land corridor bordered on either side by NATO members. I'm convinced he hopes to dominate all the land between Russia and the Baltic.
