For peaceful co-existence it is best the whole Ukraine be aligned with Russia and not necessary belongs to anyone other that Ukrainians. If Poland, Romania or Czech wants to eat West Ukraine they must use their army to take it. It is not going to drop on their laps while they sit comfortably in their homeland......

Yes, however it is possible that western part will remain as Ukraine but eastern and southern parts will be occupied by Russia. As Russian troops are not so strong and not enough supplies and soldiers for fighting a long war, if it can get parts of Ukraine is already very good, Putin can save face and end the war already.
