You can’t negotiate with Putin for a permanent stop to the war. He’ll just use any break in fighting to retool his military and try invade again. However, with the amount of corruption there that could take some time.

Plus, after all this I don’t see Ukraine wanting to capitulate on anything - EU, future NATO, reparations, etc.

The entire world community would almost have to treat them like Germany or Japan after WW2 in order for me to trust any permanent truce, and I don’t see any Russians going for that. I don’t think trying to isolate them like Iran would even work.
