Your use of Kiev instead of Kyiv and Konstantinople instead of Istanbul betrays your allegiance.
Clausewitz tells us that there will be lasting peace only with this political outcome:
The American empire will end and be replaced by the shared sovereignty EU model only after Russia's 19th century and China's 20th century empire models follow the Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians, Japanese, Brits, French, Italians, Belgians, Germans, Dutch into the dead empire cemetery first.
What Russia will or will not accept is as irrelevant to Ukrainian sovereignty and independence as:
* What Iran will or will not accept is to Israeli sovereignty and independence.
* What Japan or Germany would or would not accept in 1941.
* What the Confederacy would or would not accept from the Lincoln-led Union in 1861.
* What the British would or would not accept in 1776.
* What the Greeks would or would not accept from the Ottomans in 1829.
