The only viable peaceful solution is Russian withdrawal, and Putin has made it clear this is off the menu.
Anything else rewards and encourages the use of invasion, profoundly encourages China to invade Taiwan, and North Korean and Iran.
It will also anyway only be a temporary peace; Putin will try again in some years time. Anyone want to trust him when he promises not to - again?
The West has been forced to spend vast amounts of money, in many ways, and millions of people have been forced to flee Ukraine and resettle in the West, and about 500,000 people have been maimed or killed.
To not win after such costs is to lose.
It also means all nations which have a threatening neighbour need their own nuclear weapons. That's in the end will lead to their use.
There is also a more personal reason.
The world has a lot of shit in it, and people generally are increasingly depressed in their normal, day to day lives, because of it. We are not happy.
Stopping Putin would bright a vast ray of hope and a vision of a decent future in our lives.
