Ok it seems some topics are difficult to discuss. I assume you award the peace price to Putin, when I follow your wording.
Words will be just words. People will most of the time tend to elect freedom of speech over authoritarian government when having the option. So who should be in the position to stop Ukraine asking for closer relations with europe? When they want to, I think there can be no legitimate contract that prohibits this.

This is the core problem Russia has always had.
They always have to use violence and walls and negative-treaties to bind Europeans to them, as _most Europeans don't want to live like Russians_. It's simply not appealing. If anything, they want to live more like the USA.
No i don't award Putin the peace price, i don't like the role Russia plays on Sudan for example (still better than UAE) as i have already mentioned. And it is not words, Russia promoted peace with facts as i mentioned. What stops you admitting it? Nobody stops Ukraine to have trade relations with eu (there is also a speech from Lavrov saying it) and russian people support Putin, that is clear.
I've heard someone even claim that Putin is very humanitarian in his bombing.
It's quite simple - NATO did not threaten Russia with violence, let alone invade. The boots of Russian soldiers crossed the border. So it is very clear who is the attacker. Talking yourself out of this simple fact leads to cognitive dissonance.
