Even the catastrophic scenario means Ukraine loses lots of territory (Odessa) but is still able to stabilize the front and survive.

Maybe? I could imagine a divided Ukraine where Western Ukraine gets the Marshall Plan treatment and Russia supports development of Eastern Ukraine. Then again, maybe capital is so advanced it's no longer capable of even that.
Except there is no chance for Marshall plan, if anything USA is pillaging Germany and rest of EU in revrsed Marshall plan now.
Wasn't Marshall plan a deal to plunder European industry and not let them rebuild themselves, but rather to indent them to USA?
Absolutely, though not to "not let them rebuild" but to rebuild with murican economical, military and political strings attached and control them. It was sowing, now they are reaping.
if this were the 50s, they would do that. i dont think they have the political will (or brain) to do a marshall plan on western ukraine at this point.
It'll be the Marshall plan but in reverse: Ukraine has to rebuild the world out of it's own pocket as thanks for all the help.
