Any territory loss will be seen by Russia as the west being weak, they already see the west as weak for letting Russia take Crimea for so many years and the west did little to take it back. From Putin's point of view, he doesn't care so much about the economic or lives cost, if he can gain some territory. Seriously, the west needs to wake up, especially the EU and US when it comes to giving Ukraine the means to push Russia out of Ukraine, the west setting rules on how the weapons can be used is an advantage in favour of Russia, they can strike any target but Ukraine is restricted on what targets they can attack with western weapons, that's quite the advantage in favour of Russia and seems crazy to have such rules in place.
