The objectives have evolved due to the failure of the 2022 peace talks, then Ukraine subsequently outlawing peace talks and ongoing funding and arming of Ukraine by NATO.

If Russia are not pushed back to 1994 borders then it will be a partial victory of sorts for Russia. Both sides have very high casualties like ww1.
If its a war of attrition who will run low on manpower first? I anticipate NATO direct involvement to salvage something and avoid catastrophic defeat of the proxy Ukraine forces. Perhaps as soon as this summer by European forces (France , UK, Poland and Baltic States) to free up Ukraine forces along Belarus border and in Odessa and in the highly unlikely event of a Biden election victory by US forces subsequent to the election if the Europeans efforts are insufficient to halt the Russians. Biden is keen not to lose his war before the election.

Body count is high but the main Russian objective now is to complete the "reunification" of the entire Donetsk Oblast following on from Bakhmut and Avdiivka fortress cities falling we now have Chasiv Yar and other towns in the line of contact.

2nd tier objectives would be Khakiv and Odessa to provide a buffer zone and reduce the threat of short range attacks on Russian Mainland and the Black Sea Fleet and finally Zaporizhzhia to give a good buffer around the power plant. If Russia secures all of those then I would say their victory is complete. Anything less than 1994 borders is only a partial victory for Russia unless they can secure Ukraine being neutered militarily and becoming a neutral state - as a trade off.
