Before the invasion I noted that Putin had a legitimate concern about the expansion of NATO. But the terms you outline are not reasonable. They give Putin everything he wants, and so reward his aggression. In a way, it would be like the Munich agreement of 1938.

So what terms would be reasonable? That’s a tough question to answer. This war must stop before it spirals out of control. But of course Putin will not call a halt to things just because we want him to.

I don't see that. He said that the Ukraine was part of Russia, and invaded to force it back in. In that he utterly failed, and paid a heavy price in men, armament and above all world regard for Russian military prowess and non-Soviet fairness.
