Multiple Russian media sources apparently published and then retracted what looked like a Kremlin piece praising Putin for annexing Ukraine and humiliating the West. If that's the goal, seems unlikely to get there now. Even if, as I think will happen, Russia is able to kill or remove the current government, how do they police Ukraine? It isn't like the population is going to drop all of their weapons and obey. And then how does Russia get reintegrated into the world economy?
