> If Ukraine somehow takes any Russian territory (defined as post 2014)…

You mean, pre-2014? They’ve already taken post-2014 “Russian” territory.

In 2014 Russia annexed Crimea, and parts of the Donbas became controlled by "separatists".

Ukraine is currently not close to retaking Crimea.

Russia has “annexed” additional territory post-2014, some of which was subsequently taken by Ukraine (and some of which was already controlled by Ukraine when it was “annexed”.)
