Russia will lose...it's just a matter of time and how bloody Putin wants to make the war

The Ukraine will never accept peace on Putin's terms...it will just become an attritional slog, until Putin (or his replacement), withdraws.

Putin has nothing left but his Cold War nukes (and he might use them). His army can't do squat and his navy isn't any better. And all his air force can do is bomb apartment buildings and hospitals.

His artillery can destroy a lot of buildings and kill a lot of people.

It's certainly going to be a long, long time until Russia tries any more aggressive moves after this disaster.
They need to completely rebuild their armed forces and emphasise training and logistics and not just flashy but mostly useless super weapons.
They also need to let go of the carrier they have as it's a massive money trap and is outdated garbage.

Not on this scale, but don't rule out smaller scale military actions

Worse case scenario: Russia takes all of the disputed area in Eastern Ukraine and a coastal strip to Moldova (including Odessa).

After a year or so rebuilding, it might try and take Transnistria, where the local, Russian speaking population would view a Russian army more favorably:
