I don't think the cabal of oligarchs that will convene to choose whom to support after Putin, really care about Ukraine or the "special military operation". I suspect they would use it as an exit ramp to get back to business as usual. I just don't see any of Putin's potential successors having the type of control that Putin currently has. Even Shoigu looks like he is terrified of Putin and I doubt he would have popular support among the elites. Medvedev is a bit of a wild card I guess, but I think he is more of a yes man.
