Problem is that in the current situation Russia surrendering would imply a regime change or at the very least very heavy turmoil within Russia. Since this isn't a regime that will let itself get toppled without trying almost everything, there will likely be an escalation before Russian surrender is actually something that is visible on the horizon, which does not bode well for anyone. Sucks for it to be this way, but having an autocratic regime with imperial ambitions sit on a huge proportion of the world's commodities means you really pay for not appeasing them.
