What's the best case scenario for Ukraine if

1) Russia has a bigger/stronger army
2) NATO won't get involved

That automatically means Ukraine has to accept what Russia is asking them do. Postponing the war hoping for what exactly? Russia changing their mind and backing off? That surely ain't gonna happen.
Drag this out long as possible exposing weaknesses in Russia's planning, logistics and make it so costly and unpopular at their home that the Russians back down.

This is an overly simplistic view.
Russian military resources grow weaker by the day due to sanctions and attrition. Their supply lines are already overextended.
Ukraine on the other hand keeps getting more and more aid, weapons and money every day.
Any territory that Russia captures won’t stay that way for long because the locals hate their guts.
And no, you shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists.

They gotta make it as costly as it gets for the russians.

Can't just roll over to them, knowing what is going to happen to their country.
So you think it's worth giving lives of civilians in order to make such a huge country a bit poorer? If they took Ukraine in 3 days and in 20 days, is it really a huge difference historically speaking? They'll recover sooner or later. What would Ukraine get out of it? More demolished country and a bigger setback to recover.

There is no end game for Russia, Russia already lost
I'm asking about Ukraine, not Russia.

I don’t think this is about winning or losing. It is not like Chess but more as Go: the idea is to press the other until it is choked. This war is going to be a long conflict and we shall see if Russia can handle the sanctions of the West and if the West can handle Russia’s power. We are heading to a Syria-type of conflict, and Russians are experts on that type of warfare. I don’t think Russia will completely destroy Ukraine nor will occupy indefinitely Ukraine, since the power they are using is not of total destruction nor of occupation, but of siege. In fact, occupying Kiev would be really stupid and will carry heavy loses for Russia. I don’t know what is the ultimate political goal of Russia, but I’m sure Ukraine is not the end. I expect a time of insurgences and mercenaries in Ukraine.

I’m sure you want daddy Putler to just roll over and install a government that bends over backwards for the Kremlin. A government that would also likely be repressive and autocratic.
I’m just happy the Ukrainians aren’t so weak and pathetic.

I don't see Russians backing down. That would be the worst defeat for them, not just Putin, no way they'd accept that.

It may be overly simplistic but it's also quite true. They fought many wars, there's no way their military resources went weak after 10 days. They prepared for years in order to do this.

And there won't be any locals if they take their territory. It would be 95% + Russians living there surely.

We have reports here that Syrian mercenaries have already arrived in Russia

Why do you insist on bashing me when I ask a simple question out of curiosity? Just chill dude.

Bankrupting Putin's regime. Duuuh. One more month of this and he's done.

Well i guess that begs the question of what russia will be willing to do to expedite a victory here and the thought of that is worrying

You should check out the video i posted a few pages back on Russia's logistical problems

You say I'm talking about a fairytale regarding total extermination, and yet your numbers are double that of 26 which has been the official numbers of Russian casualties since forever, can't you see how retarded that is? You're literally contradicting yourself.

The German war aim in the East is well known, to say like you do is simply because of ignorance.
Those numbers are warfare casualties. What you are saying that Hitler wanted to exterminate everyone in the Soviet Union is just a bunch of baloney with no proof.

Speaking of exterminating, the Jewish bolsheviks captured Russia and assraped it's people in all possible ways. They wasted millions of their soldiers just for the prestige of capturing Berlin first, that is just one detail, even those casualties could have been avoided. They treated their citizens like meat and turned Russia into a dump, they are still feeling the damage from those times in their demographics and it will never be reversed.

And btw, Russians raping more than a million Prussian women was also for their survival?
