Don't be silly lah. Putin will not be pressured. The only way out now is to give him face and declare that Ukraine will never be part of NATO.

It is not about offering him an off-ramp to gracefully deescalated. He can create one himself with this regard.

For the rest of the world ...now that he show himself willing to break international law and commit war crimes so a concerted effort is needed.

The danger is given his autocratic rule there is no check and balance on him within the Russian system.
