Will the public accept going at war with Russia any easier than higher energy bills? I doubt it. We need Russia to become unable to exert any sort of political influence over the West, and two ways of doing it they had were the thereat of cutting off energy supplies (which has been realised, in case of oil and coal, from our side, and in case of gas, from their side, so it's no longer a threat and thus no longer a tool that can influence us), and the threat of invasion (which turned out to be a bluff because they can't even properly invade Ukraine).
Now all we need to do is to go through the end here: finalise cutoff of all remaining Russian energy supplies and bring energy markets back in balance after that, and achieve a full victory in Ukraine. Both is a lot cheaper than anyone could assume to "solve" Russian question once and forever: then it can simply be seen as a Russkistan we can forget about.
