Russia will not be returning all the occupied territories, nor Crimea. If Ukraine keeps pushing, they are likely to be nuked. There are some who argue that the whole war could have been avoided if Ukraine had been neutral and promised to stay out of NATO, and I agree with that analysis. Now they will still have to do that, and lose most or all of the occupied territory. Not that they cared about those territories anyway. Ukraine was shelling the people who live there in recent years. It's no wonder that they voted to join Russia.
