2. NATO denies Ukraine entry. Some USA-Ukraine defensive pact still possible
3. Ukraine gets Donbass back
4. Russia keeps Crimea as the West officially rules 1954 USSR decree that transfer Crimea from Russia to Ukraine void. This allows west to recognize Crimea as Russian without accepting annexation.
5. Russia pay huge sum to Ukraine in return for gradually removing sanctions.
