You are right, media does push to the extremes, to sell for views. You are not wrong in your assertions. Hope updated article is better.

Russia and Putin, I do not see him losing face inUkraine as a way to calm the conflict though...

Is the goal to help force regime change... (But as some have pointed, will the person that replaces him help lessen tensions or increase them) or to foce peace talks again?

The conflict will be calmed when Russia is defeated and out of Ukraine. They themselves have proven anything less than that will just prolong hostilities.

Either way let's hope the conflict ends swiftly and finally but it's definitely feeling like it will be a while before it's settled and the rebuilding can start.

It just seems similar to what happened in the Middle East...endless wars and death for 20+years.

Yes, That would be the best option, for conflicts to end swiftly.
