    I realise that both US & Russian regimes have moved on since then;
    particularly those of the USA (Bush 1-Clinton-Bush2-Obama-Trump-Biden)
    and IMO just as the US seems to not be bound by previous regimes'
    agreements, so, IMO the current Russian regime is not bound by
    past Russian regimes' agreements either . That's the norm for Great Powers.

    The bottom line here is that if both sides dont recognise the others'
    National Security Concerns, then there is no hope of a peaceful solution.

    Even the best case scenario was achieved for the Ukraine..(ie that
    russian troops were driven out of pre 2024 Uki borders , that, IMO
    won't settle the war because Russia will simply support Donbas
    separatests as they have 2014-2022 which would still preclude
    the Ukraine qualifying for either NATO or EC membership.

    So the sane solution is:
    -Ceasefire
    -Peace negotions based on mutual national security concerns.

    Supplying Ukraine with long range missiles and the western
    personell to target/launch them will simply attract an equal if not
    more powerful response from Russia.

    of course you dont need to be Einstein to realise that this is
    a proxy US-Russian war and the more it escalates the closer
    the Doomsday Clock gets to Midnight and furthermore
    on does not have to be a Nuke Physicist to realise that
    that would be lights out for you and I .

    So if you wish that on yourself, then dont think others
    have such low self-esteem/self worth in sharing your lemming instinct.
