As noted ;Putin's goal is not the conquest of the entire nation of Ukraine. He wants to establish a buffer state east of the Dnipro River and have a political solution of a neutral Ukraine state not aligned with the west . It has been sloppy . But shear numbers is on his side ;and clueless again signaled in his SOTU that the west will not step up and defend Ukraine .
