Despite the fact that the negotiations for peace between Russia and Ukraine is making good progress, it really appears that Vladimir Putin just want to destroy Ukraine. If the intent of Putin is really in the best interest of Russia and not personal grievance for what so ever his personal reason could be, why not call a halt on his troop until the negotiation is over.
sourceUkraine joining NATO began since 1992, and began its NATO membership action plan in 2008, why didn’t he start this war then? Was he friends with previous Ukrainian Presidents and probably do not just like Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

Get a history lesson first before opening a thread on this matter and before making such a statement - "it really appears that Vladimir Putin just want to destroy Ukraine". It is not! Dig down the history of USSR and its relation with US. US is trying to get access to Russia's border through inclusion of Ukraine in NATO where Ukraine is clearly not eligible. US is ready to make an exception just so that they can get clear access to Russia's border and Russia is trying to maintain its sovereignty. Russia is NOT trying to destroy Ukraine.

Russia is not trying to destroy Ukraine?
On February 24, Russia brought in eight Saoi armies out of ten and has now brought the size of the invasion army to about 200,000 people. Having received a serious rebuff, now the Russian army is deliberately launching missile and bomb attacks on residential areas of most Ukrainian cities, schools, hospitals, kindergartens, and at the same time they do not want to destroy Ukraine?
In Ukraine, 102 schools, 76 hospitals, more than 1,500 residential buildings have already been destroyed. Even the Nazis did not do this during World War II. This is purely genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Ukraine does not have the right to join NATO? Why is this? Ukraine is an independent sovereign state and has the right to independently decide which political blocs to join, and no Putins have the right to tell Ukraine which security systems to join. In addition, Putin is simply pushing Ukraine into NATO. Ukraine voluntarily gave up the third largest nuclear potential in exchange for security guarantees provided to it by world states, including Russia. In 2014, Russia itself violated them by capturing the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Where should Ukraine go after this? Only in NATO.
Is Russia trying to preserve its sovereignty because it is afraid of NATO approaching its borders? So NATO has long been right at the borders of Russia. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have common borders with Russia and at the same time are members of NATO. It did not threaten and does not threaten the sovereignty of Russia? Only Ukraine will threaten it for some reason?
Now Russia has lost more than 50,000 of its soldiers, 374 tanks, 74 aircraft, 86 helicopters, 140 artillery systems, 62 multiple rocket launchers, more than 600 different vehicles in this war, killed and wounded. The Putin regime also saw that it could not take over Ukraine and therefore asks for military equipment in China and hires volunteers from Syria and Libya. The vaunted second army of the world cannot cope with the Armed Forces, and most importantly, the people of Ukraine.
Do you want stories? So in the 9th - 12th centuries, during the heyday of Kievan Rus, from the center in Kyiv, the village of Mokva (the territory of present-day Moscow) belonged to one of the Kiev princes Yuri Dolgoruky, and if we return to those times, then Ukraine has the right to claim the entire European territory of Russia, up to Moscow.
