Russia wants Ukranian genocide, and this is the second time that they try it in a generation. There is not any oxygen left for negotiation when the other part wants your head. After all this months of "special operation" Putin is not fooling anybody in Ukraine about his real intentions.
"Winning the war" will just mean to add a few km of ashes to Russia.
The objective of disarming Ukranie has failed spectacularly. The battle to keep Nato boundaries far from Rusia was lost when they messed with Swedden and Finland. The separatist areas could not rely on selling anything in the Ukranian market anymore and will need a lot of money to be reconstructed.
And the rest of the world will not trust Russia in a long, long time.
At this moment I can't see any good way out for Russia to detach themselves from the huge mess created by Putin
