I think it was established pretty early on that Ukraine being a failed state is, for all intents and purposes, a win for Russia. It's preferable to them being a NATO member at least.
I guess my point is that I fail to see to much of a difference. A failed state can still be a NATO springboard (see: Libya). Even if this ends in some kind of treaty, how long until Moscow is back in the same spot again?

A treaty just turns open war into cladestine operations. The west has no intention of ending the war.
Once every Ukrainian is dead, it's time to send in boots on the ground...for FREEDUMB!!!
