That "eternal warfare" plan may have been workable for Russia as of 12 months ago, but the game has again changed: not only can Ukraine make its own long-range drone swarms for reaching deep into Russia to burn refineries and other things, but Ukraine now has access to longer-range precise western weapons that it's using to great effect in the near border regions. Under these circumstances, Russia will slowly become unworkable over time. Besides refineries, there are pipelines, dams, bridges, tunnels, power generation, manufacturing capacity of all kinds, river locks, military hospitals, and much more. This is the much slower, non-nuclear, non-carpet-bombing way to take a nation back to the stone age.

@michaelwilson9921 Edit - had to get some numbers - according to the 1989 Soviet census, the total population of the USSR was 286,730,819 .. and according to the 2008 Russian census, the population of Russia was 142,737,196. Under the smothering guise of Marxism, Russia ran the USSR like a top-down empire for its own benefit. Resources, people, whole companies etc were all liable to be taken by the Russians. They took all the best and brightest and prettiest from the provinces to serve back in Russia. Losing the USSR was quite the blow to Russia whereas losing the Soviet boot on their neck was quite the boon to places like Poland, Ukraine, and other former SSR's. And they don't seem to be interested in going back to the bad old days either.
