Swamps in the north and northeast, mountains in the west, and a supportive populace spell disaster for the Russians, even if they win the military struggle. They will lose the "peace" ... because the Ukrainians will give them none.
Russians seem to have trouble with terrain of all sorts. Even Finland’s forests gave them a rough time.
