The Russian government exists to serve the oligarchs of natural resource extraction. There is nothing you can give them that will make them lose interest in acquiring more natural resources. You can deter them by showing strength, and you can delay them by depleting their resources. The US is doing both of those things. Rewarding their actions can delay them, but at the cost of strengthening and replenishing them, which creates bigger future problems.
