> Can you explain why those terms are unacceptable?
It's obvious. The people want to be free to control their own destiny.

Regardless of your political opinion, it doesn't negate the fact that people still want the freedom to choose
Could you remind me why Ukraine as a sovereign country should not have the freedom to make their own choice whose pawns (if anyones) they want to be?
The agreed upon diplomatic solution was the Minsk agreements, which Ukraine completely disregarded.

Why Ukraine should not have the freedom to choose?
Just in case you are too deep in russian misinfo bubble, your dear leader is currently preparing himself and his country for the largest humiliation since WW2 by threatening security of other countries. Just because you have a few nukes does not change the fact that you are currently a failed developing country deluding themselves to think they can play the big leagues.
I mean, you have all the freedom to make yourself more lucrative voluntary chess playing companion than NATO, nobody is denying that. Instead you choose to be a failed developing totalitarian country bullying and attacking its neighbours and you wonder why they want to join NATO?
So it's Russia that completely disregarded Minsk II agreements.
Russia created a gray zone war in the first place. Support in that area for Russia was reduced from 54% to 14% over the following 8 years.
That's one of the reasons they invaded instead of continueing the gray zone conflict.
If you are suggesting that Ukraine is at fault, you are ignoring basic facts.
Yeah, support for Russia in these areas is so low that they were celebrating in the streets when Russia announced their recognition and people fled into Russia when Ukraine escalated hostilities.
