I expect Russia to make Ukraine a semi-Belarus. They are not interested in making Ukraine a part of Russia. The last thing Russia needs with their own economic problems is their western border closer to their elite arch-rivals' homes. This conflict is a conflict between 2 oligarchs fighting for power of Europe. Kiev is the Jerusalem of Europe.
Personally as for me, I want Ukraine to be a country non-aligned with the west or Russia. Unfortunately, in this world of elites with mental illnesses, it is becoming more and more unlikely.
