Why does Ukraine need a deal? Ukraine already has at least one international agreement that Russia signed saying they would never threaten the borders of Ukraine in anyway.

What is going to stop Russia from breaking any future deals, like they have broken deals in the past?.

What Ukraine needs is for Russia to leave because they realise that staying in Ukraine is too devastating for their country.

Evidently this the only thing Russia understands, force.

Not much, probably sanction them, cut off ties and generally cease trade.

But I don’t think they’d invade, nor do I think if they did invade they would commit the horrible crimes (genocide, rape and torture of children, etc) that the Russians seem to love to do.
