Russia will not seize all of Ukraine because Russia has an insecurity complex. Like a battered wife Russia refuses to escalate but instead portrays weakness by not responding to the escalations of the West encouraging yet more escalation. When the Muskva was hit by nato Russia had an opportunity to seize the narrative with justification to retaliate. It didn't. Instead it put out the story our ship is old junk and our service men are idiots that caused a fire, we sank our own ship. This is how Russia begs the psychopaths running the west to provide long range missiles to hit Russian cities. If Russia would have hit all power plants in west Ukraine making it unlivable, denying comfort and convenience to the enemy, forcing mass migration into Europe it would have given all of russia's enemies pause.

Never the threat of world war for 70 years? It seems WW2 went down the memory hole, and Stalin's part in starting that with the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact which took Lviv away from Poland. A lot of the fighting took part in Ukraine, with some fighting for Germans and others for the USSR, this division is the root of the crisis today which US neo-cons are taking advantage of.
