#3 AFAIK Kiev/Kyiv still controls a very large swathe of sovereign territory between the separatist Eastern regions + the Crimea proper.

Russia historically desires "unconditional"
Land-Air-Sea-Space? access to its Milbases, hence Vlad will likely still want to gain control of that territory from Kiev, or else have it declared a formal DMZ "off-limit's" to everyone at risk of Russian retaliation.
