Putin can still win, here´s how!

If recent propaganda-mongering is to be believed (including from the Russian side), Russia is now going to concentrate on its "main" mission in Ukraine: to liberate the Donbass region. 

If so, Russia has quietly dropped two of its three war aims. The two others, which I´m still old enough to remember, were to demilitarize and "de-Nazify" Ukraine, in plain English overthrow its government and install a Russian puppet regime (think Kuusinen). None of which can or will happen, if Russia "only" takes the Donbass.

Reminds me of the old meme from 2016: "Bernie can still win, here´s how". 

Is this the only war for the past 20 years during which Western propaganda turns out to be...true?!
