Just keep the Union like a regular assymetrical federation. No confederation of sorts. No EU-like organization. It should be a full national state with local autonomy. Destroy the Ukrainian nationalists instead of paying lip service to them, there's no point giving power to our enemies, like Korenizatsiia did. It may be painful in the short term but it will certainly pay dividends.
If integrating some regions in Western Ukraine ends up being ultimately impossible and counterproductive, then just give them independence as a neutral and demilitarized state (no funny bussinnes being in NATO or the EU) or make them join Poland (mainly thinking about Lviv here). Separate wheat from chaff. The rest will come along. Everything in the Donbass and Southern Ukraine will certainly be happy with being part of Russia. Central Ukraine will generally be against it but we can make them accept it if we act quickly and give them prosperity.
The reason why we need to solve this once and for all is to avoid the scenario of a Western led Ukrainian government mobilizing the resources of Southern and Eastern Ukraine against us.
There should be no official Ukrainian state implementing mandatory conscription to fight against us. It's best to fight an insurgency now than a fully consolidated Ukrainian state now or decades down the road, when we would've lost the advantage after the Kiev's government continuous derussification policies.
Look at the Russian government's situation. They basically invaded Donbass in 2014 and have been mobilizing it's population to fight a rebellion against the Kiev's government since them. The problem in doing things in such a limited manner is that the Ukrainian government used resources from the pro-russian regions of Kharkov, Odessa and Zaporozhia to fight an attrition war against Russia.
If Russia had acted more boldly in 2014, they could've snatched away the landbridge earlier and taken a lot of these resouces instead, using them against Kiev. That's why we can't allow Central, Southern and Eastern Ukraine to be in the same state as Western Ukraine, unless this state is the Union State controlled by us. Otherwise, we are risking an ideological influence which may turn the whole Ukrainian entity against us. Regardles of who wins, it's a win-win by the West, because they would be using our resources to fight us.
PS: to be clear, if we are giving Western Ukraine independence it should be a very small part on the border with Poland, a buffer state with part of Lviv and Lutsk region just to contain and separate the most anti-russian regions. Transcarpathia, on the other hand, is fully needed as our bridgehead in the Balkans. From it we can connect with Hungary and then with Serbia and Bulgaria, isolating Romania and making NATO's life a living hell.
