Failure means death. Putin already crossed that bridge. He must succeed with engulfment of Ukraine, or die.

If he is executed, there is no guarantee his successor will withdraw, or end the war. He may renew the war with new strategies Putin didn't try.

Russia is once again dangerously close to insolvency. Refusal to buy Russian oil would bankrupt them again, and end the war overnight, just as it did when the USSR occupied Afghanistan.
