Newly appointed Ukrainian Minister of Defence recently promised a Triumph in Sevastopol. I believe Putin can't wait for such a move to righteously crush invaders.

Maybe.

Another interesting fallout will be(or not be) is NATO expansion. In five years, it will be ineresting to see if Sweden, Finland, and Ukraine have NATO membership.

...In five years, it will be ineresting to see if Sweden, Finland, and Ukraine have NATO membership.

Sweden and Finland ?

Finnish officials described the “Russophobia” claim, made by Putin’s senior political adviser, Sergei Markov, as “unfounded” and “alarmist,” while Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said the embedded meaning in Markov’s remarks smacked of a return by Russia to old school “Cold War intimidation.”

Don't dream, not happening !
