Isn't This Abandoning the People of Ukraine?

People who support democratic processes in ukraine might hear a proposal like this and say, you are selling out the people of ukraine. I don't know whether this approach will meet success. But this is what putton is laid down on the table. Let's take that as a premise and go from there and see if it see if it works. Not that i think it's way premature. To the extent there are going to be serious negotiations, they're just beginning. And so why base your whole position on an insistence for thing you're never going to do? Anyway?
