If you want Russia to take less of Ukraine, you have to practically normalize relations with Russia.
Making an analogy, if someone steals my money, I would want my money back. If it would be too risky and expensive to get my money back, maybe I would cut my loses and assume "too bad, I lost" but if a thug with 20 felonies in his record, that broke every peace deal that I had with him, picked protection money and proceeded to stole my businesses anyway, demanding that I will be defenseless and must not report his criminal actions to the police, I would fight him with everything I have, even if I am probably going to die. Or I'd sell everything that I won and move.
Trusting his words is tantamount to a suicide.
And a Thug with 20 felonies in his record is more trustworthy than putin.
