Also, the Kremlin is the biggest baddest gorilla keeping a lot of other armed, ambitious loonies in check. Given free rein, there’s several factions and regions where tribal infighting is foreseeable.
And let’s not forget the world’s largest nuclear stockpile. Iran, Saudi, North Korea, China, possibly Turkey, Pakistan would love a slice of that pie.

Russia has almost 4 times Canada’s population and it’s official (probably falsified) GDP is only 80% of Canada’s. This war must be doing a lot of damage to their economy. It’s also taking productive labour out of the workforce and saddling the economy with thousands of disabled veterans, widows and orphans.
Best case scenario in my opinion is total economic collapse of Russia and dissolution.
