What is your plan than?

What should the west do?

Let me guess, you have no alternative that does not boil down to "Let Putin and people like him do what they want."

Negotiate an end to the war. I'd support a UN monitored vote in the Donbass region and Crimea (and any other contested area) on whether they want to join Russia or stay with Ukraine.

Russia refuses to give back the lands seized.

Now what to you do?

Not an option the Ukrainian gov will accept. Nor should they.
When parts of the USA wanted to leave that was not response from the USA.
