You cannot make peace with someone that wants to annex you, control you or genocide you. Do you say the same to beaten wives so they don’t divorce their husband?
Come on now. Let’s not pretend there aren’t limits to negotiation with a violent person that refuses to stop being violent. No matter how many times you tell them, “No no, bad, baaaad! Killing baad! Genocide baaad!” To reform them, if they keep doing it: They have no respect for you and respect, last I checked, is a mutual two way street.
In such cases, the bully (murderer in this case) needs to be checked in the guts hard enough to submit, because that bully doesn’t want to change and since we can’t imprison the damn psychopath and he refuses to stop, teaching him a lesson will have to happen sooner or later.
Yes, I would want more honest peace negotiations. What’s wrong with peace negotiations?

False dichotomy. The options aren’t “peace” or “WORLD WAR THREE”.
There’s a third option, where Russia decides on “War” against the EU, and the EU says “Annex me harder, Daddy”.
That third option is the worst of the three. It’s also the option you are advocating.

Appeasement never has and never will keep bullies from attacking you.
