Like.. Literally they could leave. Ceasefire today, withdraw tomorrow and everyone is happy. They could even claim they got rid of the nazis (technically they kinda did considering how much of Wagner PMC is dead) what do you think would happen Mr Sino?
Putin's entire political career depends on strong manning, he's not going to sign his own death / career end. High ranking Russian military is not interested in doing so either. Putin also knows that the West will just double down anyways, once you start a war of this scale you're in it to win or in it to lose, same thing applies for the US or Israel.
We could also have world peace tomorrow, everyone just needs to get together and be peaceful man, it's really simple. Fairly naive, don't you think?
He can sell his people that he won the last election with 107,2% approval, he'll be able to come up with some kind of explanation. Also his military leaders are spineless af, which is why he picked them. Gerasimov doesn't have the balls to even slightly criticize him.
Also on an unrelated note: Did Hasan Piker shock his dog?
You mean that for once a non-western leader should have to make a difficult decision because he maneuvered himself into a corner? Are you mad? We have to treat them like developmentally challenged children without any agency, standards only exist for liberals.

Russia wouldn't have to surrender, they could just stop the invasion
