From an article I read about this:

"We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective," [US Defense Secretary] Hegseth said, referring to the year Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine. "Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering."

Why is that an "illusionary goal"? That should be the bare minimum goal. I'd say that plus some sort of restitution and Putin being jailed would be the ideal outcome, but getting their territory back should be the main non-negotiable.
