The priority is to survive as a sovereign state, maintaining control over enough major cities and keeping this government intact. If they can just hold out until the moment when it becomes glaringly obvious to the Russians that the cost is simply too high—whether that takes seven, ten, or fourteen days—then that constitutes a victory and a massive failure for Putin (though, given his track record, I find it unlikely he'll allow that to happen easily).
This will drag on for another 2 or 3 days. This isn't World War II.
