Thank you for these firm statements.

However:

Nothing short of a decisive defeat can disrupt Russia's current ongoing acts of aggression throughout Europe & the UK as well as defend against further acts & the imminent acts of escalation.

You have to have a wild imagination to conceive of such a scenario.

Oh.

Those are the wrong conditions being imposed by someone who has no stake in the outcome.

This is time for sheepish UK and European leaders to step up fully and stop deferring to the tyrannical authoritarian regime of the U.S.

Annexation is one state forcibly acquiring another state’s territory, usually through a treaty or use of force. It is illegal under international law.
Here is the full text of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties :

Forcing a treaty on a sovereign nation violates the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
The Trump-Putin "peace deal" is illegal as it seeks to force Ukraine to accept, by treaty, the annexation of territory that belongs to the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
