#1 Failed?, hardly. Western media delusions. This will be done when Putin's Russia decides (Putin's replacement could be far more hostile). Cyprus solution is no solution. Just an eternal conflict. Nothing was resolved. Greeks and Turks have an eternal hatred. The gas fields might be the flash point for the future.

#3 Putin's original plan for Ukraine has failed

That is kinda sorta true. A neutral Ukraine, not part of NATO, with no foreign troops or large standing army, and all that chaos in the Donbass sorted out - yeah, that did not work out. So it is on to Plan B - secure defensible positions and fix Donbass. That seems to be working.
