    That’s not a consequence, he’ll lose that anyway if he loses the war, which he is increasingly likely to do. You don’t care about the killing, you’re just preserving Russia and protecting it from real consequences while substantially weakening Europe’s ability to defend itself. You’re rewarding the behavior.

      You don’t know whether Russia will lose. Russia has greater manpower which Putin doesn’t mind expending. In my plan, Europe would be strong since Ukraine would be part of the European Alliance.
