Then why don't you ask Russia to withdraw, wouldn't that be easier?

Russia is obviously not going to withdraw, and you or me asking Russia to withdraw isn't going to make it happen. However, people living in western countries do have at least some influence on their own regimes. Of course, the reason western regimes can keep the proxy war going is precisely because a lot of scumbags are cheering it on right now.
