When your enemy tells you what he is going to do, it is best, to a first order approximation, to believe him.

That page is what people are using to suggest he is reestablishing USSR which is not my read of it. On the subsequent page which I’m going by memory because it is inaccessible they state that they will neutralize and de-nazify the country. From that I don’t see how people are getting to long term occupation (except for the breakaway regions). Their objectives can be met by demilitarization which is what I assume they mean by neutralization of Ukraine and I think that is something everyone could come to terms with as a reasonable compromise. If Ukraine starts re-arming then Russia would come back and prevent it.
