Putin will not abide by any cease-fire agreement. He never has. And realistically, any cease-fire that involves a Demilitarized Zone is unworkable. The border Ukraine shares with Russia is more than 1700 kilometers long. In addition it would have to include the border with Belarus. Such a DMZ would require more than 100k troops to monitor, much less guard it. It's just not practical.
The less expensive option, politically, economically and in lives, is to arm Ukraine to the teeth and help them defeat Russia. That victory, combined with the failing Russian economy is the quickest way to end the conflict.
If Russia is defeated and humiliated on the world stage, not only will Ukraine be better for it, so will the Russian people and the rest of the world.
Other than natural resources, I can't think of much good that's come out of Russia lately. If not dealt with decisively, Putin will continue his predatory, imperialistic marauding, wreaking havoc and chaos on Russia's neighbors. Its European neighbors.
