Ukraine had a treaty they were ready to accept when the west objected to it and pushed them to push the effort forward.

lmao, this misinformation again. You keep repeating the talking points you hear Putin make when Tucker Carlson is interviewing him. You're no different than any other right-wing chud other than a coat of red paint.

I'm too cheap to pay for access to the article, but they were close to an agreement. Here's the summary as I heard it (summarized from wiki)

Charap and Radchenko argued that four factors in combination led to failure to achieve agreement. According to them, three factors involved specific stakeholders: the unwillingness of Ukraine's Western partners to provide security guarantees; Ukrainian public anger at the Bucha atrocities; and Zelenskyy's increased confidence in a military solution with the failure of the Russian attempt to take over Kyiv. The fourth factor listed by Charap and Radchenko was that solving geopolitical security issues while ignoring immediate peace processes for detailed security issues such as humanitarian corridors, ceasefirea, and the withdrawal of military forces was overambitious, "aim[ing] too high, too soon

But whatever you'd like to believe. You've only so far expressed your desire for Russia to lose and haven't alluded to any concessions you'd find acceptable, so I have to assume you're happy with all-out war until Ukraine wins or loses completely

the unwillingness of Ukraine’s Western partners to provide security guarantees

You... you do realize that the meaning of that isn't "The West wanted more war" right?

... right?
