The "peace" being proposed by Trump is a high-time preference surrender in disguise.
Ukraine has already been through this before, many times over. Russia proposes a "peace", regroups, and attacks again. Russia did the exact same thing with Chechnya in the 90's: Russia lost the first war, signed a peace treaty, and just spent the next three years rearming to attack again. This time winning.
European countries know this, especially ones bordering Russia. To achieve an actual peace Russia needs to be thoroughly defeated and permanently disarmed. Fucking up their economy is the most realistic way to do that.
Fortunately, Russia makes its money via highly flammable oil and gas infrastructure:
