Nothing much has changed over there. Ukraine's offensive has made some gains, and now you've got the rainy season followed by harsh winter.
Ukraine doesn't have enough to kick out Russia, and Russia doesn't have enough to gain back territory it had seized earlier.
I'm hoping the stalemate nature of all this gets the two sides to the negotiation table.
The wording is a bit vague, but we did say in that 1994 agreement that we'd help Ukraine in the event that Russia attacked it.
There were U.S. sanctions after Russia took Crimea in 2014, so it's not like the Obama administration did nothing. It's not a fair comparison between that and Russia's full-scale invasion to take over the entire country.
Perhaps in between then and February 2022 NATO should have given Ukraine what it needed to kick Russia out of Crimea.
