Maybe in Russia by 2024 they will change their mind. The fact is that by 2024 Russia as such a state may not exist, or it will already exist in much smaller territorial volumes. For the tenth month, Russia has been waging an aggressive war in Ukraine and even declared four regions of Ukraine its own and annexed them to itself. But these territories of Ukraine will get stuck in the teeth of Putin and his team, along with aggressive Russians.
On the battlefield, big Russia is clearly inferior to relatively small Ukraine. Now, in desperation, Russia periodically attacks Ukraine's energy infrastructure with cruise missiles, seeking to leave Ukrainians without light, heat and water in winter. These are purely terrorist actions aimed at intimidating Ukrainians lead to the opposite result, strengthens the determination to destroy the invaders on their land.
The failures on the fronts of Ukraine and the weakening of the central government in Russia lead to a liberation movement in Russia itself, which unites up to a hundred different nations and nationalities in the Russian Federation, which were kept in united Russia only by force of arms and police repression. Some of them have already announced their desire to secede from the Russian Federation, and this trend will only intensify over time.
