If everyone was friendly, why did Ukraine not give Russia their soverign land?

Everyone was friendly right after the dissolution of the SU. With the prospect of NATO expansion and initially friendly Russia getting declined 3 times into the alliance they added 1 and 1 together.

The people of Ukraine voted for Zelensky fighting Russian influence for this exact reason.

Zelenski got voted for because he promised an end to the civil war in donbas https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30414955 https://www.france24.com/en/20190416-russian-speakers-ukraine-candidate-talking-language

a defensive pact

Like in Yugoslavia?

Zelensky was voted for many reasons, this is surely a component of it! His charismatic effect and desire for sovereign governance are others.

Yeah but the protection of the Russian minority was a key mandate.

You want to talk about historical context yet fail to contextualize anything shown to you. Your "spurring debate" is actually just bad propaganda

Exactly! Ukraine's goals aim to unify a diverse population! Majority and minority alike. It's a beautiful resistance movement towards outside Russian aggression negatively impacting the lives of the Russian minority in Eastern Ukraine!

I wonder why and how that "outside Russian aggression" came about
