Even as a pro-Russia supporter, you have to admit that overarching aim of this conflict has failed.
Even if Ukraine succumbs to Russia, NATO will have more members than it did prior to the Ukraine invasion and NATO will be more united than it has been prior to the invasion. Russian oil will be cut by the end of the year in the EU and Russian gas will be phased out.
Yes, Russia has made more money from gas during this conflict which may very well dampen sanctions but the gas money will dry up in a year or two, whereas sanctions will remain. 
Russia does not have any customer that will buy as much gas or oil as the EU, countries like India, Pakistan and MENA region are only interested in wheat and military tech which doesn't support a major economy.
How is this a positive to Russia compared to before the invasion?
I am genuinely curious to hear your answers to this.
