Can't rule out Lithuania, especially with what they did to Kaliningrad.

Moldova, Khazakstan, Uzbekistan.

Little bit of Poland and Finland.

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.

They could be in this for the long haul.

In the "long haul" Putin will be dead, and their successor could yet decide better relations with much of the world and no longer being a pariah state count for more than Duginist fantasies.

This question implies that Putin and his supporters—and fwiw, a lot of Russians who are not his supporters—have the same kind of Complex regarding other countries in Europe that they do with Ukraine. Or that the Russian military has any serious capability left for other misadventures.

I do indeed take your latter point - but the idea that Russia should restore the "glory days" and take pretty much the entire former Soviet/Tsarist empire back, is now a staple of state media.

Russian state media’s job is to troll and promote deranged conspiracy theories. That doesn’t tell us much about what Putin is actually thinking or planning (but then again, little does—his is an infamously opaque regime and the circumstances leading up to the decision to start this war are still fairly unclear).

Any victory will likely require several years to recover from their losses and adjust doctrine.

Sticking with Europe, I suppose Belarus gets Anchlussed at some point, it could even happen with a defeat. Moldova also probably gets invaded and small chance Georgia also gets invaded as well (again).  Maaaybe Russia could help Serbia pull off an invasion of Kosovo and/or splitting up Srpska from Bosnia.

However that's really it, everything else is already in NATO.

They will keep going until the Russian Empire is back.

Everything east of the Atlantic Ocean and South of the English Channel.

What would even count as a "win" at this point? The successful occupation of the entirety of the Donbas? Even if this is successfully achieved in the end, the possibly pyrrhic nature of that victory might be enough of a deterrence already. If Putin loses 100,000 troops over the course of a two-year war or so then it will be more of a face-saving measure for him.

In short, I doubt that Russia will "win". More like a stalemate.

In this (vanishingly unlikely with knobs on) scenario, why stop there?

None.

At this stage, they will be happy with the Eastern half of Ukraine.

The question is pointless because Russia has already been defeated though mighty pook and his accomplices are not aware of this fact. A more appropriate question might be: When will Russia collapse and mighty pook be taken to court?

Why do you say this? What actual evidence is there of this?
