How would you end the suffering? That is such a naive take, when there is no such option on the table.

If Ukraine lose - russians will not only he able to bomb civilians from the distance, but will literally be able to go to their homes.

The suffering will multiply but you will most likely not hear about it, so you will be in peace with yourself.

Via a negotiated settlement, which would very likely include Ukraine giving up some amount of territory to Russia and making some guarantees about neutrality, and the West lifting sanctions, hopefully in exchange for Russia paying for Ukraine's reconstruction.

Agree that it will be very hard to do though. Best time to try was years ago, but unfortunately Boris Johnson vetoed that, and now the Russians don't want to negotiate.
