I'm still partial to my own solution. Declare war, take a token strip of land and heavily fortify it.
With what army? Finland has a high tech modern air force better than anything Russia has + advanced SAMs like the NASAMS II, so Russia's air force stays home. Finland also has hundreds of Leopard 2 main battle tanks, and over 650 heavy artillery, and another 100 SPAs & 30 GMLRS equipped rocket artillery.
Russia doesn't have anything like that anymore. Russia has a few hundred tanks left in Ukraine as it keeps feeding in old refurbished tanks into Ukraine to get destroyed. The vast majority of Russia's tank force and other armored vehicles have already been destroyed or captured.
And what do you think "heavily fortify" will do in 2022? We already know what that looks like: Russians digging out pits for their vehicles to sit in, and said vehicles routinely get destroyed by drones & gps guided artillery. Troops in trenches? The trenches can just get bypassed and cut off. Russia doesn't have the manpower to defend a wide geographic area to stop the Finns from simply going around the trenches and cutting off their supplies.

So many hundreds. And Ukraine cucked the whole Russian military with only a dozen or so HIMARS, soooooo.
I've seen copium and I've seen copium, but this takes the cake.
Why do you think it's wrong that Russia has a few hundred tanks left in Ukraine? Oryx has photographic evidence of 1,419 Russian tank losses so far, and there aren't going to be photos of every loss, so the real number is somewhere between 1500-2500 somewhere, which is essentially the entire Russian deployable tank force pre-invasion. Russia has had to keep refurbishing old tanks to keep SOME tanks in the field, so in the last 2 months a lot of the losses have been T-62s and T-64s. So this is barrel scraping for Russia. If you have contrary evidence, by all means.
You literally think a corrupt puppet shithole non-country is going to beat Russia...
not particularly corrupt, certainly not more than russia
not a puppet
is a country
has already been winning the war for months, hence why Putin was forced to cope with a mobilization.
I'm sure you'll blame Biden and the "libs" once the said non-country starts losing badly...
Why would I? And how delusional do you have to be to believe that Ukraine would ever start losing?

So 1/20 of the French army in 1940. Very impressive!

You're still bragging about your Pothole Makers like you're a shareholder of Lockheed Martin.

Even imagining that this is not war propaganda, out of (tens of) thousands? Literally nothing.

Here's my contrary evidence: Russia has some of the world's most extensive natural resources. It would be trivial to turn out hundreds a tanks a week, as happened in World War II.
What disappoints me most is the Russian airforce. The responsible officer should follow the example of his predecessor in June 1941.

Sending the flower of your youth to die for American imperialism is not 'winning'.
not a puppet
Literally run by Victoria Nuland...

Where was this totally real country in 1990?
Why would I? And how delusional do you have to be to believe that Ukraine would ever start losing?
How delusional do you have to be to imagine that Russia could lose anything?
So far, Ukraine cannot even take Kherson, though considering the bad position of the Russian army there, I'd not be surprised if they did withdraw.
You have Russia Derangement Syndrome and Putin Derangement Syndrome, probably because you were raised by Cold Warrior parents.
The artillery power of the French army in 1940 was actually very large and outshined Germany's by a wide margin. Germany won the Battle of France handily thanks to getting lucky in the Ardennes + having a decisive airpower advantage.
You're still bragging about your Pothole Makers
You keep saying "potholes" even though HIMARS strikes shut down both bridges into Kherson and forced the Russians to rely on ferries.

They've made a lot of progress in the past 2 months. Remember when you were saying that Ukraine couldn't do offensives at all shortly before they did?

You Team Putin guys are not living in reality.
They have dozens of pieces of artillery! DOZENS!

Finland has hundreds of Leopard 2 tanks, which are better than anything Russia has.
Finland's wartime strength is 240k troops. It keeps about 40k at short term readiness, which is more than enough.
I'm sure Stalin said the same thing for the Winter War and how did that turn out?
