I think Putin will want the current occupied territory which in the grand scheme of things, considering what Russia originally wanted, would be a win for Ukraine. They will essentially lose territory they haven't fully controlled for 10 years anyway.
I think the people of Mauripol would disagree that it's a win for Ukraine, but I think the Donbas is going to end up as Russian territory. Problem is, that region is never going to be settled now as there will always be Ukrainian / Russian factions who will lay claim to it.
You ain't ever going to please everybody so, **** it, majority rules. Donbas and Crimea are lost, they ain't coming back. There ain't no kumbayaing out of this war I'm afraid.
Dunno if's a case of majority rule But I agree Donbas and Crimea are going to be Russian Territory, especially when Trump withdraws $$$$bn from Ukraine.
Mentioned this earlier, that they might become autonomous states a bit like the Basque region in Spain. So a Ukrainian cultural state within Russia I dunno, there's not really a one size fits all with this.

Makes no odds because our Rachael is planning a tax raid on pension funds on the scale of Gordon Browns £5b a year during Labours 13 yrs of pillage
Watched a bit of PMQs, Kemi is a big downgrade on Sunak. She looked genuinely flustered at times and accidently blamed a Tory policy on Labour. Farage asked one question that wasn't really all that interesting, I think he wanted to "appear"
And Starmer welcomed him back to the U.K., saying “He’s spent so much time in America, I expected to see him on the immigration statistics”
