Putin says it isn't over until ukraine is eradicated from the earth and the minds of ukranians. He never wanted eastern ukraine itself, they had no need for any of it's natural resources - and russia was clearly no friend to the separatists..just ask the few remaining separatists, lol. The only point of stirring up shit there was to keep ukraine out of nato so that they could invade - as they've done. Ultimately, though, I think you've got it about right. No matter where the border ends up (and..I think..even if ukraine regains it's full territory) there will be skirmishes for years, possibly decades.
That's one reason why a rational actor would go home...but as we see, wars are not always commanded by rational actors. Sometimes they're commanded by an aging bunker bitch whose legacy depends on establishing new russia by forever war against it's poorest neighbors.
