No. Number 2 is negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine. Number 3 is a toppled government leading to a fizzled war. No settlement.

How does a fizzled war end? A new government starts talking to Ukraine.

There is a lot that needs to be settled. Do troops stay in place? Does Crimea go back to Ukraine? Does Russia owe reparations?

Often a fizzled war just dies abruptly. Some territories just separate away and declare independence. There is no settlement discussion.

See Bangladesh separation from Pakistan.
