You can't! Putin cannot be allowed to be successful in this current invasion of a sovereign nation. A nation that Russia agreed to recognize as a sovereign and independent nation. They signed on to documents to that affect. Now they are waging a war on an independent nation and the free nations of the world basically sit and watch as they negotiate with a man who has no intentions of negotiating for anything less than control of Ukraine, and quite possibly much moreAt this point they've lied so frequently and with such shameless abandon it would be insane to trust them if they said the sun was going to come up in the East.
They (read: Putin) have relegated themselves to nothing but a garbage, rogue nation which doesn't even make a pretense of honoring its commitments or negotiating in good faith.
When the orange malignancy talked about "shithole countries" he was talking about Russia (even though he was too dumb to realize it).
They have no further role in the civilized world.
At this point, yes he can be considered in the same tierPost Putin....baring that when we see Putin across the table we should see Hitler.
The current government will change. The land still has energy resources. Negotiations will continue.At this point they've lied so frequently and with such shameless abandon it would be insane to trust them if they said the sun was going to come up in the East.

We also signed papers saying ukraine would not be in NATO. But biden sent word that we would allow it.You can't!

This seems to be a trend with the western nations, ignore the obvious and hope it doesn't happen. Too easy on Iran, too easy on Russia, too easy on China, Afghanistan, and others. Currently those nations have our number and know we don't want conflict and will use appeasement as the main diplomatic policy.
And Russia signed papers saying it would never challenge Ukraine's territorial integrity. I guess shit changes.We also signed papers saying ukraine would not be in NATO. But biden sent word that we would allow it.

Nope.We also signed papers saying ukraine would not be in NATO. But biden sent word that we would allow it.
Any productive future negotiations with Russia will likely depend one whether there is enough sanity left in the Russian political system to overthrow Putin.At this point they've lied so frequently and with such shameless abandon it would be insane to trust them if they said the sun was going to come up in the East.

YepNope.
Fact-checking claims that NATO broke agreement on expansion
Two days before Russia invaded Ukraine with an assault that intelligence officials had warned was coming, conservative cwww.politifact.com
And Ukraine signed papers saying it would talk with it's breakaway western regions. Then Reneged.And Russia signed papers saying it would never challenge Ukraine's territorial integrity. I guess shit changes.
They reneged on "talking?" Ukraine did talk with it's breakaway western regions. Russia simply didn't like the outcome, so it violated Ukraine's territorial sovereignty despite signing a treaty saying it wouldn't.And Ukraine signed papers saying it would talk with it's breakaway western regions. Then Reneged.
Agreed on the last part.They reneged on "talking?" Ukraine did talk with it's breakaway western regions. Russia simply didn't like the outcome, so it violated Ukraine's territorial sovereignty despite signing a treaty saying it wouldn't.
Lesson learned. The current Russian government can never be trusted by any nation. Hope Russia enjoys its status as the next North Korea, because it will be there for a while.

As far as I know we didn't sign, just a verbal agreement. I'm not calling you a liar, but link to it and let's see...We also signed papers saying ukraine would not be in NATO. But biden sent word that we would allow it.

I'd be interested to read more about this verbal agreement, all I've come across is this;It appears that US and allied leaders all provided verbal assurances to Russia that NATO would not expand, but it was never made a formal agreement. So that's not blameless; but the blame is shared by Russia not getting it into an agreement.
This is what ha puzzled me. Putin, a master manipulator and evil genius has been able to grow Russia through its oil & gas revenues. They are where they are by virtue of the fact Russia has been 'accepted' by the west. In that context he risks everything for two, small, agricultural provinces that will be a drain on the budget.
Either he has made a great mistake, not a first for sure, or he knows the "international community" won't be bothered by this at all.
And trust me when I say Putin loses NO sleep over Canada's 'stern, principled stance" What is needed here is the kind f black ops presented in the Jason Borne series.
As it......................
I think Putin is motivated more by his fantasies of rebuilding the USSR than Ukraine's resources. I heard a former high up admin security official say he believes Putin wants the Warsaw Pac back, as they're all NATO members and we would defend them, it could get very messy. Today I heard that Putin claimed these sanctions were a declaration of war, but nothing since then...The Ukraine and it's natural gas resources would be competition for supply of Europe. Putin is clearly also obviously paranoid and still harbors fantasies of rebuilding the USSR.
