If he agrees to immediately withdraw then no further military action is required, anyway.
The only actual demand that is required onerous is the change in the constitution that effectively bars them from joining the EU and NATO.
I think to end it, that is a price worth paying as there are ways around it going forward.

So Ukraine just let’s Putin think he’s won, Putin can’t be seen to lose and he’s lost this war, sure he’s got a massive nuclear arsenal but that’s no good to him, when it involves Armageddon. So he’s now got to save face and he has to walk away with some kind of win to stay in power.

Why would Russia lease it when it’s been in their possession for 8 yrs?
