I'm not 100% convinced about an unlikely Ukraine best scenario. Much depends on the question if China is holding a lifeline for trading with Russia. Considering international protest against Russia and that new Russian loans from China are currently blocked, it seems that Russia overestimated their friendship, which was "unbreakable" - https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/t1884007.shtml https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/t1... It seems that the unbreakable already shows some fractures. Considering the vote against Russia wasn't vetoed by China and left Russia alone. Additionally, i have more than average hope that the Russian population ( which has many relatives in Ukraine) is an underestimated variable by Putin in this mess.
