In this day and age, its not a proxy war...having the major super powers sniping at one another can't end well for anyone.
There needs to be some kind of de-escalation...and even then, based on my interpretation of Putin's history lesson on Ukraine, it seems like the end goal for him is having Ukraine back as a part of Russia - which would be a non-starter for the western countries.

Trying to bring Ukraine back into Russia would be a grave mistake. I can't even think about any rational reason for this. If he's really up for it I must admit he's lost his marbles, although I still hope this is not the case.
