Putin will need to die for Russia to change. Change is not possible in Russia until then. A strong EU is required post Russia.

Until then, starve the Russian economy of fossil fuel export revenue (which funds their war efforts). They have liquidated a majority of their gold reserves and have exhausted a majority of their military hardware stockpiles. If we wanted to wrap this up, we’d be bombing their oil and gas export facilities, but it appears we haven’t made it to that milestone yet.

Ukraine seems to be doing that pretty well.
