Is there any way to get to a ceasefire in Ukraine? [View all]

Or have we already gone beyond that point?

Can there be any sort of "ceasefire" with Russia pulling all of their tanks and troops out of Ukraine?

Would the Russian people ever demand that Vladimir Putin step down? Or would they stick with him in the same way the Germans stuck with Hitler, almost to the last man?

Is there any way to avoid escalating this war to a grander scale?

It is very depressing.
