Even more than that, do they think that Ukranians wont just try and kill them every day. Invading a country and pushing key objectives is one thing, but maintaining security is another and is brutal when the entire populace hates you. Every single unit and checkpoint will have a barrel or rocket launcher aimed at them every day, and every house will house them. That would mean the only chance Russia would have to maintain any control would be a brutal escalation of killing on site and killing civilians in towns who they suspect have harbored or aided anyone.

For them to maintain control over just the Ukranian people it would have to go far beyond anything we have seen, based on the determined resistance we have seen so far.
Back to guerrilla warfare. You cannot oppress 42 million people
 
We haven’t seen how the Ukrainians would react with a massive occupying force on its territory

Huge assumptions made throughout your post based on the last few days alone
Can an army of 150,000 occupy a country which is bigger than France with a population of 48 Million.

In 1971 there were 334,000 US troops and 968,000 South Vietnamese soldiers in Vietnam. They could not keep a lid on a population of about 43,400,000, a bit less than half in South Vietnam.

If every major city is occupied or encircled where are these weapons coming from to fight back?
