I just don't see Russia pulling it off this time. The Ukrainians keep getting more organized and access to better equipment. Russia just doesn't seem to have the man power to raise an army, let alone start building the supplies to arm and equip that army.
The situations you're referring to also typically occur when Russia is a being invaded and on the defensive. The Russian/Ukrainian plains are notoriously difficult to move through. Now Russia is trying to move offensively through them, and it'll be winter soon.
