Master Pu ignores that Putin's plan was that once he was done violently taking over Ukraine he was going to start attacking other European countries including Germany. His mouthpieces outline this regularly. Putin and his cronies are quite proud of their brutal plans to re-unite the former USSR and Warsaw pact using military might and ethnic cleansing.

Top US diplomat warns that if Ukraine gives up territory to Russia in exchange for peace it will 'open a Pandora's box around the world'
https://news.yahoo.com/top-us-diplomat-warns-ukraine-215243147.html
"Vladimir Putin has to give up on his notion that Ukraine is not its own country, that it needs to be erased from the maps and subsumed into Russia. He's already failed at that. But he seems to continue to believe that that's what he's trying to achieve. And unless he's disabused of that notion, it's hard to see how peace can really move forward," Blinken said.
Putin in September illegally annexed four Ukrainian territories. But Russian forces do not fully occupy these regions, and in some places, they have even lost ground to Ukraine in the time since Putin announced the so-called annexations.
The Russian leader's decision to annex the Ukrainian territories made the possibility of negotiations to end the fighting extremely unlikely. Moscow now claims these regions as part of Russia while the Ukrainian government has been adamant it would not agree to any peace deal requiring it to cede territory to Russia.
Blinken also told NPR that any peace agreement would need to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, otherwise it would not be a "just peace and a durable peace."
"If we ratify the seizure of land by another country and say 'that's okay, you can go in and take it by force and keep it,' that will open a Pandora's box around the world for would be aggressors that will say, 'Well, we'll do the same thing and get away with it,'" Blinken added.
Western leaders and officials have repeatedly warned that if Russia wins in Ukraine it could inspire other world leaders with imperialistic ambitions to act on them.
The top US diplomat's comments came as Russia continues to push for gains in eastern Ukraine as the war inches toward the one-year mark. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday Russia has already begun a highly-anticipated new offensive, warning that Putin is willing to endure high casualties in order to exhaust Ukrainian forces.
"We're seeing what Russia is just now, what President Putin do now, is sending thousands and thousands of more troops, accepting a very high rate of casualty, taking big losses, but putting pressure on the Ukrainians. And what Russia lacks in quality, they try to compensate in quantity," Stoltenberg said.

That 97% figure would be/is absolutely frigging astounding if true- given what Putin still needs.
The Ukrainians may not end out taking Crimea but they sure are hell are going to severely threaten it enough for Putin to have to put major resources there. So there's some more troops needed right there. And both the west and Russian command agree that Putin needs a massive number of troops in the western part of the country to cut off the supply of western arms coming in from Poland. So there's some troops required right there- or else that supply will not be interrupted.
And Jihad-Face Kadyrov who is also a general in the Russian Army says they expect to take Poland before long. That's gonna require some troops, eh? Nevermind that you are then fighting NATO.
And then, not to put too fine a point on this, but out of that "97%", half of them will be dead by the end of the year. Another factor that works against them.
Vlad, not sayin you are not a military genius, but think this through a bit, mate. More mobilization is your friend- OR NOT.
And then, not to pick on Putin, but his "Home Guard" troops have been in Ukraine for quite a while. Their job is protect Putin against coups, plans, domestic unrest etc. Not a good time to be going without troops there, eh"
97% of Russia's army is now in Ukraine, claims UK intel, meaning Putin may struggle to have enough trained troops to throw at the war

Note that the definition of "Russian army" in this case only includes soldiers in organized "combat troop brigades" in the army branch of the Russian military. It does not include Russian navy, airforce, nuclear missile forces, or army soldiers dedicated to logistics, military police, recruiting, etc.
As a follow-up thought, it only took 4% of the U.S. military expenditures to destroy 50% of the active Russian military. I say we spend another 4% and get rid of the other 50% of the Russian military.
every dime well spent there.
ukraine is a great long term investment for the free world.
