This.
Russia will not stop until it understands that it cannot continue. Ukraine continues to fight because it realises that ‘peace’ now would simply be a pause allowing Russia to regroup before coming back for more.

The 1930s, when the UK and France realised far too late that appeasement simply delayed the inevitable (or, if you take a more charitable view of Chamberlain, appeasement attempted to hold Hitler back while the UK and France scrambled to catch up on years of complacency in military preparedness, ironically a situation we now find ourselves in once more).
