measures that would get Russia to withdraw
>Even if Russia manages to conquer all of Ukraine, they couldn't occupy it for lack of troops.
the only if in this war is whether Ukraine surrenders before or after its cities get Second Chechen War treatment
The best measure for forcing Russia to withdraw is lack of funds.
At least give a decent alternative that would work... I tried to think of "any" other and there is no viable one.
Except if China would remove the lifeline, which they won't. Since they can buy Russian energy/food companies for pennies on the dollar.

Looks like modern colonization to me.
