He's not wrong, this war has put Russia on a course for almost certain collapse, and nothing short of a complete victory offers any chance of diverting that.
If he makes peace or loses and the current projections are a fracturing of their state authority.

History can be misleading, things do change and that needs to be recognised, economic development being a big one.
There are only so many jobs for refugees in a first world nation with limited low skill employment options. Even a relatively similar nation like Ukraine will have this issue; the demand is for expertise not general workforce.
They will struggle to find decent employment, and may do better to migrate home after the war.
