Imagine the US - with or without allies participating but at least agreeing - announced that Putin must withdraw from Ukraine.
That his forces have - a number like 3 or days - to withdraw. During that time, the US will build a conventional force on Ukraine's border.
Russia will be told that the US will not initiate the use of nuclear force. But at the deadline, any Russian forces remaining in Ukraine are subject to attack. And then do it.
Who would not support this in the world? It would defend peace. It would protect an innocent country and set a precedent for not allowing aggression globally. It would have a deterrent effect such as China invading Taiwan. It would give Putin warning and no legitimate excuse to use nuclear weapons - but not to allow to use their threat to blackmail the world.
