The Combat In Ukraine

The combat in Ukraine I have a problem; we know that Ukraine is a corrupt country we also know it has fought a low-level war against the Russian-speaking people in the Donbas region, so Russia intervened, so far so good, but what is the next step? If Russia holds on to the territory gained without having an army station in the freed territories on a permanent basis because Ukraine will cry foul and attack when they can. Russia has always been a magnet for intruders because of its potential riches and vastness. There was a time when Yeltsin and his cronies were popular they grabbed the state's assets and sold them down the Volga. This was abruptly stopped, to the chagrin of the west once more; Russia was the enemy. I’m not partial to the Russian government’s plan, but as I see it Russia has to occupy the whole of Ukraine and install a regime that is permanently neutral and let Ukraine be a member of the Russian federation. In any case, the war must stop as thousands of young soldiers die for the wrong reasons and the civilians are bombed senseless.
