they're going to find themselves in a position where they'll be forced to declare victory, have a nonstop propaganda blitz on how they killed all the Nazis and freed the Ukrainians and taught their government a lesson and throw a parade for the soldiers who managed to survive this exercise in murderous folly.

They will, of course, remember it quite differently in all of Ukraine.

I would imagine the border will be closed for some time to come, maybe even with a border wall constructed of blasted and burned Russian military hardware.

The Russians didn't seek to destroy military targets, but dwellings, schools and hospitals. And the amount of destroyed military hardware left behind will continue to pose a danger and a pollution threat.
