Yeah, Putin’s end goal is to put a puppet in charge of Ukraine. I have no doubt he’ll absorb Belarus and Ukraine again into something like the USSR, but that’s a few steps down the line. Probably the disputed regions will be absorbed into Russia immediately a la Crimea.
This is a playbook he’ll try on the Baltics in a few years when things calm down again. Plus Georgia obviously with the existing situation in South Ossetia.
