Of course not. Any high school student of WW2 history knows that if Putin gets what he wants, his war will have been justified and he'll start again after reloading the batteries for a few years.
It is imperative that he loses and is humiliated in front of his enemies in russia, so they lose all respect for him and kill him.
The challenge will be for a orderly hand over to someone who is more west oriented. I think the wests intelligence services will have their plates full with that job for a few years keeping the lessons learned from Yeltsin in mind.
