Complete opposite to what Russia wants to do: it wants to install the same system itself has, where Moscow hoards all the money.
As for the linguistic unification, it does not constitute decentralization, Kyiv itself speaks Russian language and a lot of Ukrainians do not want to give away the language to putin.
As we can see by now, Russia wants to annex the land, and after annexation it becomes part of it. When region becomes part of Russia, it becomes centralized and serves Moscow.
