Winning in 2 days was probably the only successful strategy they had though. Once foreign aid started coming in Russia lost all chances of a successful campaign.
For the strategy to be called successful, it needs first to succeed.
even if they had, they had no means of holding it.
If they had enough it's possible that other nations would have not bothered fighting to take it back. That's more or less how they took Crimea in the first place, they were fortifying a position before most countries could react.
