Obviously, the only way Kiev stays part of "Ukraine" is if Russia installs a puppet government.

Otherwise, Russia has no choice but to take over 75% of the country by force, and declare it formally as Russia.

This type of fighting resembles something that would take place in the Middle East or a Europe of the 19th century
more than a real 21st century war. That's because Russia doesn't want to use what it has saved for NATO itself.
American satellites are watching everything. So it will be slower, and there are also humanitarian reasons why it's slow..
but it's happening nonetheless. Then, Russia will offer a final ultimatum to Zelensky.
Before year end, Russia will install their own government in Ukraine.

So many unknowns still to reliably project the final outcome. I will stick to my prediction from over a year ago that Russia will most likely stop at the east bank of the Dnieper river. I would only amended that to extend to Odessa and Transnistria.

When the Ukrainian Gov folds it's hand and sits at the negotiating table, I think we could see an outcome similar to post WWII Germany. An east west divide with each Oblast in most cases deciding by referendum which side to join. 

Kiev could end up split east & west by the river, in a sense like Berlin.  

For the most part, I don't think Russia wants to maintain control over areas where it does not have the support of the majority of the population. I would think that Kiev is still leaning to the west, but who knows how attitudes are going to change when the dust settles and perhaps the propaganda narrative of the last 15+ years crumbles.

Things could (and most likely will) escalate, in which case Russia may start occupying European states.  The Balkans first.  One could stick a fork in Ukraine at that point.
