Control of those border regions are one of Russia's main objective in this war despite what the "RuSsA wIlL rOlL tHeIr TaNkS tO bErLiN iF tHeY aReN't sToPeD" crowd would like you to believe. They have neither the will nor the manpower to occupy all of Ukraine.
What they want to accomplish in this war is control over the border regions, especially the Donbass and Luhansk, and prevent Ukraine from becoming a NATO member, both of which have been accomplished whether you like it or not.
