Escalate to de-escalate.
Now, Putin staying in power is a win for Russia. It's another off ramp.

If he had no nukes and his country was under attack and losing the war badly with the threat of him being replaced or killed. The West supporting him as a leader might make a difference. ie Iraq.
Yet he still is in a position of great strength. Russia is not being physically attacked.
I see no way that this ends because the West will allow Putin to stay in power. The West does not have that type of control over Russia.
Putin is in power. In charge. Why settle for something you already have?
He wont. At least not at this time.
