Russia wants the 4 oblasts, not all of Ukraine, and further it isn't engaging in war with Ukraine to gain colonial territory but to gain a defensive buffer zone against a power that has repeatedly shown it is willing to play attack dog for NATO. Not all annexation of territory is imperialist, we have to analyze the underlying causes.
Thats why they keep bombarding Lviv and attempted to size Kyiv and all of north Ukraine?
They are trying to take the 4 oblasts, not all of Ukraine. Russia is at war with Ukraine, not just the Kiev-aligned forces in the 4 oblasts.
