If Russia really wants to create Eastern Ukraine the boundary will more likely look like this(Green line):
SpaceX will also drive the prices up.Soon, they would shoot at any civilian vehicle that approaches them. Then the world will blame Russia for cruelty.
SpaceX would get more contracts this time.
It will be difficult to take West Ukraine, not saying its not possible but Russia will have alot more backlash, protests and insurgency. Its better to create Eastern Ukraine and arm it to neutralise West Ukraine. Bring peace to the country.
It is a war so it is always repugnant. In a war, you try to get something by killing. The goal is to get that something. Killing is just the means to an end. If you don't get the thing you wanted, then all the killing, especially the suffering of your own people and soldiers, is wasted. It is not for the soft-hearted, who may end up causing more killing by prolonging the war.
I agree with this analysis and its very concerning if you think about it. I don't think China will get involved in any conflict, not even a limited offensive cyber capability.I think they could have a bargaining position by limiting to eastern Ukraine. Why slaughter your own and others?? It's repugnant!!
So is Russia holding back from using its full force? Per this article, yes.
US doesn't stand 'a fighting chance' if Russia and China combine cyber tech, former Pentagon official says
The former chief software officer for the Air Force said it would be a "game changer" in the Ukrainian conflict if China shared technological capabilities with Russia.www.foxnews.com
China may already be sharing data with Russia, and America wouldn't stand "a fighting chance" if the two superpowers combined their cyberwarfare capabilities, the U.S. Air Force's former chief software officer told Fox News.
"Not many nations would be able to push back," Nicolas Chaillan told Fox News. "I don't even think the United States would be able to push back if tomorrow Russia and China decide to come together against us." [He is referring to the cyber warfare, I think]
"I think it would be very difficult for us to be able to even have a fighting chance, let alone a nation like Ukraine," he added.
Chaillan said "this is not the full force of the Russian capabilities," which he called "tremendous."
"They have not used the most innovative capabilities yet," Chaillan told Fox News. "They're focusing on the more traditional warfighting capabilities."
"We have to be cautious. I always remind people that [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin is not stupid," Chaillan said. "We may not yet understand what his plan was all along."

Maybe not. The west Ukraine is largely bordering with Poland, which is a NATO member. If Russian army approaches to that border, Poland has to think more about how much help it can give to Ukrainian insurgency without bring the conflict to itself. If it doesn't think about that, other NATO members would think about that, because if Poland is attacked, all of them need to counterattack. That is close to WWIII.
