No. I think the Ukrainian people are tired of war, and when you become an existential threat to a nuclear power things get really messy.
Putin is old, and if Russia loses the war it's likely there will be a coup. Either way Putin won't be around when Russia has recovered it's military strength enough to attack anyone.
If Ukraine recovers all of it's territory and becomes part of NATO, there's no chance Russia can win. If they couldn't win with lukewarm support (at best) for Ukraine from NATO countries, they wouldn't dare attack Ukraine when there would a full military response from the rest of NATO.
Continuing the war after Ukraine recovered all of it's territory would just be throwing away lives needlessly.
