  This view is parroted endlessly but highly likely to be false. In fact Putin's successor may well be worse.
  
  You don't see the big picture.
  Putin's successor might be worse, but there would be a pretty long time between Putin's death and the successor getting enough control to do anything.
  This would give Ukraine the opportunity to remove the remaining Russian forces from their territory while Russian leadership would be preoccupied with internal affairs.
context: I doubt Putin even considered what their work force or demographics will look like in 5 years.

  That would require them to learn from past mistakes. Are we sure they can do that? >
  
  Russia will conduct this war exactly the same as they conduct all war. Attrition and dead soldiers. They won't stop until they have killed hundreds of thousands of their troops and run out of money. It's going to take months/ years before this war ends. Tragic. >
  
  Ukraine has to survive just one particular Russian. >
