With all the military aide incoming to Ukraine doubling down on a surge for an offensive, and an exhausted Russian military, I do not see the 2021 boarders being acceptable to Ukraine or NATO atm.

I'd caution a little on the exhausted Russian military issue. While some estimates put their losses at 240,000+, Ukraine has lost most of their best soldiers too and western estimates peg their losses at about 20,000. Most of the info we get on casualties is Ukrainian army info, which is very much also propaganda. Ukraine is hurting a fair bit and probably doesn't have anywhere near the capability of drafting more men like Putin does. Having said that. Momentum is everything and if they can get off on the right foot and Putin can't manage to get more lethal aid from Iran or China, I'd say Ukraine has an OK shot at getting some territory back
