If they withdraw their troops from the Ukraine border, Russia will lose face(or what you use to say in cases like this)

As you wrote they have maneuvered them self into a corner by their actions.

Edit
Had a discussion with a FB-friend who wrote.
Who would have an interest in a war ?
Here I replied
NATO and/or EU has no interest, that's why they hope that a threat on economical sanction is enough to make Russia think twice before start the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia I don't know how much of an interest they have in a war with Ukraine.
