Ideally by standing down. Again, they arent in their own nation.

Lets change perspectives here. Lets go back in time to the British colonialist and the native Americans. Are the natives supposed to just do nothing?

The victims ought not be expected to let the perpetrators continue to harm them

Your way of conceptializing this is so childlike as to be useless.

I want the war in Ukraine to end. I want them to negotiate the best and most obvious solution to this conflict for the parties involved. I want the war to end because then people will not be getting killed.

You want NATO to keep supporting Ukraine, to keep Ukraine away from negotiating. You want this, because... i don't know why.

I'm saying the Ukrainians should not be expected to negotiate, given that it is their land being invaded. If Putin doesn't like that, he can pound sand and leave.

If someone invades your house, you wouldn't just given them a room and bath to have them clam down.

If Putin doesn't like that, he can pound sand and leave.

Or he can keep grinding Ukrainians that are poisoning their own soil with mines, cluster ammo and depleted uranium because I assure you Ukraine isn't winning this and even their NATO backers are announcing it now that the "spring counter-offensive" has failed.
