What parts of the Minsk agreements not being fulfilled led to Russia invading and who should be pressured to fulfill them? Since Russia claims they are not bound by the Minsk agreements why would there not being fulfilled lead to the current invasion? Should the current Russian government be trusted to keep their end of any deal involving Ukraine given their blatant breaking of the Budapest memorandum and the Russian-Ukraine Friendship Treaty?

Russia also has agency here and the right to not start a war.

Are you referring to [1]? Cause to me it seems like Russia has been given every chance to establish peace. Peace for an act of aggression Russia initiated because they didn’t like that Ukraine was pro-US and considering joining NATO (which would have put a critical naval port under US control).

Is the “baiting” aspect the US courting Ukraine to be in NATO? That seems rather mild considering that’s a sane strategy given how Russia under Putin has unprovoked invaded neighbors in the past (see Georgia). Putin has also robbed the Russian people through his oligarchs and rampant corruption and acted like a despot reinstalling a dictatorship in effect within Russia, killing or imprisoning anyone who didn’t bow the knee or threatened to expose him. He’s also struck out at the US by trying to sow discord and confusion by having the US elections hacked. Not sure why you’re painting Russia here as the poor innocent victim here, but this line that the US is the cause of the war in Ukraine is kind of laughable when you look at the totality of Putin’s career.
