How is it "expansion invasion" if peace terms offered by Russia, which are now public knowledge with recent documents leak, shortly after invastion didn't inclu

  It was a bluff to make a weaker Ukraine. Just a reminder to that moment: 1.Russia sponsored separatist movement in Donbass with money, weapons and agents. 2. Russia directly occupied Crimea while lying they do not. 3. Russia signed a Budapest memorandum to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders and restrain to use force against it. 4. Russia signed a series of Minsk peace treaties. Why you think that they really offered a peace in a good faith? History of modern Russia, USSR and empire show any peace treaty or other international documents with nothing, just a waste of the paper. Russians always lie. That's putty western world are blind because Russian bribes are too good to miss.

  Those peace terms included Russia getting to annex Crimea, stationing troops in Donbas (eastern Ukraine), Ukraine retreating all of their troops, Ukraine being neutral (permanently non-allied). In return, Ukraine would have gotten some guarantor states safekeeping its newly drawn borders (but Russia would have been able to veto any action of those guarantor states in case someone, possibly Russia, attacked the Ukraine again). This seems a bit of a complete joke to me? Can you explain, why, exactly, Ukraine should have taken that offer? This is basically "I give you everything we are currently fighting over, in return I get an absolutely worthless promise from a serial liar". No deal.
