Russia cannot impose anything on Ukraine without instituting a puppet government or taking it over completely. Anything less than that would be phrased closer to "Ukraine gets a case of stupid, accepts a shitty deal offer from Russia for reasons". Which, fun fact, is the kind of deals Russia offered Ukraine multiple times, were refused multiple times, and then said refusal was blamed by Russia simps on US and UK influences bullying those poor Ukrainian politicians who just really want to surrender but bloodthirsty westerners are making them stand and fight.
And even if that happened, it's plain Russian wishful thinking to automatically imply it would limit NATO, which is separate from Ukraine, rather than increase its activity and relevance in reaction to the Russian threat getting bigger and closer.
Funny enough, you are kinda close to what leaked documents say Putin expected to happen when he started the "short and victorious" special military operation, before it turned out to be not short at all and not very victorious either, with such fantasies as giving NATO ultimatums and getting a no-fly zone over Poland and Baltics from such, finally resulting in collapse of NATO, possibly EU, and Russia becoming a superpower again like back in the days of USSR.
VLADIMIR Putin believed NATO would disintegrate and Western countries beg Russia not to harm them after he invaded Ukraine, leaked spy docs show. As the Russian death toll in the Ukraine war passes…
