Yes, before the war, I thought a potential peace compromise would be let


Russia officially take Crimea and the region it held in eastern Ukraine. But remaining Ukraine would be under protection of NATO, while not officially joining NATO. I think there was a chance Ukraine take that deal, but Putin at that time probably thought he could have get a lot more (one article I read says an Ukraine negotiator thought they had a peace deal somewhat along that line in place until the war broke out). Now that would be a deal I don't think Ukraine would take. Maybe have Crimea as a 100 year lease to Russia is probably the most concession Ukraine would give now (unless of course, US says we will pull support), while that's probably not enough to save Putin.
