The Russians say that it is West violated and not fulfilled every previous agreements. And they have pretty good reasons to think so.Russia has violated every previous agreement it made with Ukraine, so there is no reason to expect that a new agreement will lead to peace.
Actually, the war is winnable. Russia can occupy the whole Ukraine (and if necessary - significant part of Europe) as she did many times before.This war can end in only two ways: either Ukraine will surrender and except another brutal Russian occupation or Russia will finally decide the cost of the war is too great and withdraw in the hope of being able to do business with the rest of the world again.
The war is unwinnable by either side on the battlefield. While it is unlikely Ukraine can drive Russia back across the border, no part of the land Russia controls will be safe from Ukrainian attacks.
