I will answer this whole thread with simplicity, and it will annoy everyone including the OP.
1. Russia treats the war in Ukraine as an existential war (meaning, a fight for survival). This view is shared not just by Putin, but by the entire Russian government, and by the soldiers fighting on the ground. This is fact.
2. The Russian authorities, via its negotiating delegation have already said the following: they see the conflict to be similar to the 21-years war against Sweden, where Russia fought to establish a foothold in Europe. Sweden eventually lost, and Russia solidified itself as an empire. The current conflict in Ukraine is viewed as a battle for geopolitical balance in Europe, even if the fighting is happening in Ukraine. This viewed is shared not only by Russia, but also by Europe itself - given as for EU the defeat of Ukraine is also unacceptable. The EU will lose geopolitical supremacy on the continent if this happens.
Finally:
3. Russia (and Russians) will continue fighting this war for generations if necessary, this again has been stated by members of the Russian government. Be it for 5 years, 20 years, or even 100 years. This conflict is existential for both Russia and EU, but it wasn't Russia who decided to turn Ukraine into a continental point of friction.
