A settlement like that is what ended hostilities in 2014, and yet he's back for more. What happens when he comes for the rest of Ukraine in another 8 years, or Moldova?

Or Finland. What then? Negotiated peace only works if it works, and it clearly doesn't with Putin. We tried your suggestion already and it failed.

Except hostilities werent ended in 2014 and the Ukrainian government was pretty explicit that they didnt like the minsk protocol and didnt particularly feel obliged to adhere to it. So they didnt and the war continued for another 8 years.

The point is we DIDNT try adhering to minsk, zelensky decided he 100% wanted to be NATO rather than neutral and NOW look where we are.

A bit of decentralization, some restored Russian language rights and a promise for NATO to back off would ALL have been easier.

>What happens when he comes for the rest of Ukraine in another 8 years, or Moldova?

How exactly does neutral make that happen?

What happens when NATO tries to do to Russia what it did to Libya?
