Provided that the world continues to rally around Ukraine and gets critical supplies to the population centers they may avoid grievous additional losses, but Ukraine is unavoidably much worse off than it was pre-invasion.

The Ukrainian people also seem to have a strong will to build/rebuild and defend Ukraine so they are reliable partners unlike the cases we've seen in other countries.
Russia leaves Ukraine in defeat in at some point in the future. The question is largely how many innocent dead are left in the wake.
I suppose that a lot of the Russian elites, locked out of their wealth and prospects, would be more than happy to see and even effect a serious change of the leadership. I hope they have a fair chance.
A huge lot of non-elites would support that, too.
I don't think there's a single scenario where Russia wins.
Ukraine agreeing to the loan would mean agreeing to debt slavery.
Thinking like a person: no more wars in Europe.

We now have the perfect excuse to unleash all the decades long pent up hate of Putins regime.
Ursula Von de Leyen seemed to capture the zeitgeist when she slipped up and said "Ukraine is part of us" or words to that effect. Attack on Ukraine is felt as an attack on the West .. even on the other side of the world.
