The best outcome, and in the end, the inevitable outcome, is an amicable divorce. I figure the nation will be split roughly along the lines of the Dnieper river, east goes to Russia annexed outright or more likely as a client state while west goes to EU.
If Russia had been a bit nicer to the Ukraine, perhaps the western half would not hate them as much. But when your past has one of the two named genocides in history, the
Holodomor, forgiveness may be a bit tricky.
