If you watch the clips, you'll see that Kilmeade and Ducey were really trying to avoid an argument, but the female host kept pushing and pushing her narrative. Eventually, Kilmeade got frustrated and responded to her, probably so that the audience didn't assume they all agreed with her.

Russia told the reasons they attacked, the principle one is potential Ukrainian membership in NATO. Independence for part of Eastern Ukraine is probably just a bargaining chip to get a good deal.

NATO agreed not to spread eastward after the fall of the USSR. The US agreed to defend Ukraine. Russia agreed to not use military force on Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.

Obviously neither side kept the agreements, but they were not treaties which would require Senate approval. Therefore the agreements do not have the force of law.
