Giving up territory in Ukraine is also condemning people living there to live under Russian rule, a harsh dictatorship with limited freedoms, no room for opposition, bad economy etcetera. I don't think many people prefer Russia above living in Ukraine as part of the EU in the near future.

If anyone needs something great to watch, I humbly submit Landman.
Written by Taylor Sheridan (best known for Yellowstone), it is spectacularly good—great dialogue, interesting characters, beautifully shot, instantly immersive. Just like Yellowstone. He somehow manages to capture a sense of America that I remember growing up looking in from the outside.
