Zekenskyy should play a reverse Uno card and “invade” Russia at that point. Start rebuilding a better, more democratic Soviet Union. But I would want Putin to be alive at that point so he can see others succeed where he failed, by doing the complete opposite of him.
It’s probably a good option though. The anti-Putin Russian combat groups that are fighting for Ukraine now tend to be far-right. (What is happening there is the classic “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” scenario, if I had to guess.) It’s good that Ukraine has “third parties” to do small incursions into Russia when needed, TBH.
However, those groups are armed and would be in a good position to establish a larger political following should the war end with the collapse of Russia. Having a far-anything-political group gaining power probably isn’t a good thing.
My point is that I mostly agree. Having Ukraine take the reigns would be good, but extremely problematic. It would put Ukraine directly at odds with native Russian rebels or other groups chomping at the bit to take control.

Wouldn’t that be a twist of fate?
