We've lost the war with Russia, is the bottom line.  Ukraine bravely

No, we've not lost the war with Russia.  We've barely tried, and we've
been grossly delinquent in living up to the security promises we made to
Ukraine.  If you really want to "end it", then we're obligated to give
back to Ukraine their bombers and nukes.  Pragmatically, the peace
bringing force-equalizer would be for Russia to fear Moscow being nuked.

  You're wanting World War III to happen, then?  Because that's what
you're implying with that logic.

No, not saying that I "want" that.  I'm merely noting that when you're doomed to die anyway, nuking the other SOB takes them down with you.
If that starts a larger exchange (or not) is no longer relevant to you because you're already dead:  its the principle of MAD as a deterrent, and my observation is that MAD only works when both sides have nukes.
So if you really want peace, solution is give Ukraine back their nukes.
