Ukrainians inflicted four times as many civilian casualties as Donbass forces because they were better trained? Usually the better trained side inflicts less civilian casualties than the less trained side. And honestly, you really don't need to be well trained to shell the civilians, like the Ukrainian Army did, ever since the rebellion in Donbass started.
Or alternatively, Ukrainian Army is better at protecting its own troops and civilians, while cannon fodder separatists say fuck it.
Indeed. A change at the helm to someone who doesn't have the need to hold Putin's ideological line of "Ukraine and Russia are one nation whether the former like it or not" just for the sake of saving face if nothing else opens up political solutions that are just simply impossible with Putin at the helm.

Even if it did happen, any Russian politician in a position to replace him not only supports invading Ukraine, but would have done so using far less restraint than Putin. They'd have to overthrow the entire Russian government, and start over from scratch in order to get someone who doesn't; and even then, assuming that they managed to not put someone even worse in power, the west isn't going to let go of their new justification for increased authoritarianism that easily.
Have you watched the Duran? Their analysis on the affect of the sanctions on Russia mentioned what you said.
Or his handlers are geniuses who want big bloody war which distract american enough to win election.
No, instead what he's done is to go all 1984 on his country. I have little doubt that this is the only reason he popularity has supposedly grown, too.
