There is no solution until Putin is there, there are only patchwork attempts to reduce the existential threat.
We all know as for Hamas, only with true pivotal regime change we can have peace.
Except that for Putin there is no plausible plan to get regime change anytime soon, nor to put Russia on its knees unless all major world economy fully agree on doing that. As long as china India and others still have pseudo normal economic relationships with Russia, Putin is here to stay.
The USA didn't want to go nuclear vs Russia, imposing all countries in the world a complete blockade of Russia under the threat of being cut off completely of all dollar access.
Until they do so, Ukraine best hope is to barely survive under constant existential threat.
