At this point the question is probably more how much of the Ukraine Russia is going to invade/occupy.

I honestly don't see them even trying to invade anything other than the eastern parts that are already being contested. Russia simply doesn't have the manpower to occupy the whole country. Just installing a puppet government in Kyiv isn't enough because the Ukrainian forces will immediately overthrow it unless Russia has boots on the ground keeping watch.

It doesn't really matter how many people are leaving. Putin isn't going to destroy these cities anyway. He just wants some footage of civilians fleeing the region to Russia.

Playing Putin's advocate for a second, despite how chaotic things have been for the past few days, I don't think there have been many casualties yet. Broken gas pipes, blown up cars, holes in the walls? Yes. People in body bags? No.

My current guess is that Putin will launch something that looks like an invasion of entire Ukraine, but when the smoke clears, only Donetsk and Luhansk will stay occupied. He hopes that the west will accept this as a compromise and only hit him with sanctions.

Oh, he's definitely on Russia's side, but that doesn't automatically mean that the video is fake.
