You're misunderstanding how much the world has changed since the invasion. Still operating on pre-invasion assumptions.

Sanctions aren't coming off unless the Russians completely get wiped out and/or retreat entirely from Ukraine.
Ukraine joins EU + NATO after the shooting ends, no compromises.

This is how the West thinks because they see this as a mortal threat to the international order they set up and control.

Let's ignore tech sanction for a moment and concentrate on central bank sanctions. It's clearly illegal under international law (Taliban is not an internationally recognized government, Russia's government is). If the only missing part of a ceasefire agreement is the lifting of an clearly illegal sanction that's also extremely damaging to the credibility of global financial system, and EU/US refuse it. Then it's absolutely on them. They will look bad, very bad. The only justification for using such a drastic and illegal sanction is to stop a war.

Sen. Ben Sasse charges that China greenlit Russia's invasion into Ukraine because Putin apparently transferred troops from the Russian Far East to fight in Ukraine. So China has control of troops Russia historically put there to protect itself from China that Putin would need China's permission to use? And somehow its absurd to associate Japan allying itself with Ukrainian Nazis...? The Putin loving Republicans got egg on their face now so they're trying to spin China is behind it all to cover-up their disloyalty to freedom and democracy. And some don't understand why there are people who are against a US led white supremacist order in this world...

Then why Zelenskyy is giving weapons to civilians and criminals and encourage them to use molotov cocktails against a well armed modern military force. These people would have zero chance to make an impact of stopping the Russian troops' advancement. Their deaths would not have any value.

Deep in your heart, you know that Zelenskyy is just sending these people to died. Zelenskyy might not think NATO would directly intervene but he wants and knows that NATO can do lot more.

I always have a nagging suspicion that deep inside, Zelenskyy wants to drag NATO into an all out war with Russia.
