When Ukraine liberated 99% of Kharkiv oblast in a lightning offensive there were countless videos of people speaking Russian coming out and greeting them.
On February 26th 2022 the Russian state media declared victory over Ukraine.
The RIAA reported "Now this problem is gone - Ukraine has returned to Russia. This does not mean that its statehood will be liquidated, but it will be reorganized, re-established and returned to its natural state of part of the Russian world. Within what borders, in what form will the alliance with Russia be fixed (through the CSTO and the Eurasian Union or the Union State of Russia and Belarus )? This will be decided after the end is put in the history of Ukraine as anti-Russia. In any case, the period of the split of the Russian people is coming to an end."

You did not produce the quote supporting your assertion. You ignore the atrocities committed. You ignore the history of the land. You ignore the votes that did not support your assertions,

The US didn't break any agreements, but Russia did. Numerous times.
The Budapest agreements, Russia-Ukraine Friendship (1997), Minsk one and two, START, I can go on.
An agreement with Russia is not worth the paper it is written on.
