Putin said on TV, that he wanted to start peace talks.

It were the Ukrainians, who rejected peace talks.

The Ukrainians wanted to 'win', but have no real chance against the
superpower Russia.

Whether or not the Nato had, that would be a good question.

I would think, that Russia is already in a very good strategic position
and even the entire Nato cannot push them back from there.

The reason:
Russia could sent many million soldiers very easily to the front, while
Nato troops had to be brought there.

This is difficult, because the Nato would need ships, but the Russians
control the Crimean peninsula and with it the entire Black Sea.

Now Nato troops could only be brought by ship over the Baltic Sea. But
that is very narrow, shallow and too far away.

So, in effect, Nato troops could only come from the west on land, e.g.
from Poland.

But that would be LOOOOOOONG (!!!) and dangerous (!!!!) walk, because
Ukraine is very large and flat and provides no mountains as protective
cover at all.

Travel by air is also not recommended, because Russia has state of the
art air defense systems.

The Russian also have an insane amount of tanks, which are mostly old.
But the newer 'Armata' tanks are very powerful and certainly difficult
to defeat.
