These actions are just meant to suck the morale for continuing the fight out of the Ukrainian people. More propaganda war out of Russia. They have come too far to turn back now. You don't invade the nation, blow up its cities, burn tens of billions of dollars, kill 10,000 of your own soldiers, bury your country in the worst global sanctions any nation has ever suffered, to then immediately walk it back. Any terms will involve Ukraine de facto coming under Russia's boot. The correct response to this is for NATO to designate Ukraine a special development partner (double time). Once Russia is defeated, after the occupation and insurgency ends and Russia is forced to withdrawal its military - then NATO and the EU should proceed with fully implementing that special development partnership until it can meet all the qualifications for full membership. In the meantime give the nation a lot more extra attention (to its defense needs and economy) to speed up their recovery and development. NATO and the EU can telegraph that move right now to let the people of Ukraine know their intentions going forward as partners, so everything is clear (the people of Ukraine deserve transparency so they can shape their expectations, makes decisions about where they want to go as a nation). Ukraine will have to go through a lot of rebuilding, which the EU can help with, and NATO can keep them armed in a way that will dissuade Russia from trying again. That should include getting their air force F16s and getting them more advanced proper air defenses. One of NATO's primary tank builders (Germany or UK) should also get them a large batch of modern tanks (the US won't sell the Abrams to Ukraine yet). Part of the point of the new designation would be to let Russia know that in fact NATO will be doubling down and has no intention of abandoning Ukraine. In terms of cost and supplies, NATO can stay in the conflict (as things presently are) a lot longer than Russia can. When Russia is forced back out of Ukraine, Ukraine should invite a rotation of ~25,000 NATO soldiers (each NATO member would contribute) to take up a permanent position in the country for defensive purposes until Ukraine is rebuilt.
