Why would Russia continue?

Hmm why would Russia continue. Oof you got me there. I have no idea. Why would they continue?

I mean given their peaceful history for the last 20 years of not attacking and expanding their borders, I can totally see why you’d think they would stop completely on the imaginary line.

I mean they totally stopped after Moldova, Georgia and Crimea.

This isn’t a marvel-esque situation where an invading force has spent 4 years gaining ground and checks notes suddenly stops.
