Sure, allow Russia to keep territory they've claimed and sign a peace agreement, with the stipulation that since Ukraine is at peace and none of its territory is occupied, Ukraine will be immediately allowed in to NATO. First, we'd see if Putin is REALLY interested in that cease fire. Second, if Russia keeps any Ukrainian territory in a peace settlement, Ukraine immediately joining NATO is the only way Russia won't just rebuild, learn from their mistakes, and continue the invasion later. The precedent has already been set by Russia doing exactly that after the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you reward a dog for pooping the rug, it's guaranteed to poop the rug again. Obama, during the "apology era" did virtually nothing when Russia invaded Ukraine via proxy forces, despite the fact that it was the USA that led the effort to trick Ukraine into giving up its Soviet era nuclear deterrent under Clinton.

philippage60 hi, thanks for the reply. I wasn't suggesting Ukraine should give up territory. I was suggesting that if you offered that to Putin along with Ukraine immediately joining NATO, you'd see how much Putin really wants a cease fire to keep hi marginal gains in Ukranian territory. I can't see my comment as I'm typing this, but I'm pretty sure I also said that rewarding a dog for popping the rug guarantees the dog will poop the rug again. This happened after the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine when Putin wasn't expelled from Ukraine as part of the cease fire.

"We want a cease fire because our 'recruiting' and manufacturing can't keep pace with our losses when Ukraine has ammunition. We need time to rebuild before continuing the special operation." -Putin

Keep in mind that Putin also thinks every Western leader is an idiot or fool. He thinks he's going to fool them that he's genuinely interested in peace. Of course, our leaders might actually be idiots and fools...and believe him.
