Russia won't stop until their objectives are met. They want a demilitarized Ukraine and no National Sectors (fascists) in government or influencing the government. So if they have to hold ground in Western Ukraine until accomplished, they will do so. Unless of course this is covered in the potential peace agreement, then Russia will most likely be content with going as far as the Dnieper River.
They have to physically hold western Ukraine though. Once the AFU breaks, Russia will dictate terms to the west and whatever remains of Ukraine. Just look at how things unfolded over the past three years with the frontline remaining relatively static until recently. Attrition does not require making territorial gains.
