Hasn't that been tried for the past many years, many times already?
Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 and took a big chunk. There was lots of talking encouraging of deescalation and what happened?
Putin went for the head shot, attempting to take over the whole country.
As far as he's concerned, the only deescalation is when he controls all of Ukraine, and also any other countries or parts of countries where he's issued people Russian passports.
