How did the US win? What of the goals has ever been achieved? Russia achieved what it set out to do, and its economy and industry is stronger than ever. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/17/1219882734/russias-economy-is-going-strong-despite-sanctions-from-the-u-s-and-its-allies https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-has-upper-hand-arms-race-with-west-russian-minister-says-2023-12-25/

Maybe you missed that the US exhausted its ammunition supply to the point that it had to abandon Ukraine to supply Israel with weapons. https://www.axios.com/2023/10/19/us-israel-artillery-shells-ukraine-weapons-gaza

I will grant you that weapons makers have made billions from this conflict, but Lockheed Martin and Ratheon aren't the US government or the US people. The government and people got screwed, and it is a major strategic loss for the US. The US now not only appears weak, but is known to be unable to produce ammunitions fast enough.

Putin announced a "special military operation" to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine, claiming Russia had no plans to occupy the country. Since they've achieved what they set out to do, will they be going back to Russia?

Technically, yes.
