Agreed completely. I think that Russia will easily "win" militarily and it's foolish to think they are getting demolished in Ukraine but as you said I literally cannot see them holding the territory long term. Not only because there will be an insurgency but also because the invasion was imo such a foolish, pointless and borderline suicidal move for Russia. the best hope for them and ukraine will be to pull out after "winning" and hopefully negotiate a truce where they don't occupy Ukraine but get the sanctions on them pulled off in exchange.
