I mean that Russian citizens would not be allowed to travel to Ukraine for any reason and vice versa.

It seems a prerequisite for that would be an agreement on “what is Ukraine and what is Russia”, which is something of a topic of violent disagreement at the moment.

Isn't enforcement the whole point? If Russian soldiers were not able to enter Ukraine, there would be no war.

I mean this would be a resolution to the war. Both sides would agree to ban all travel between the two countries.

Yes, but how are you going to achieve that? If the country wants to attack another country, why would they even agree to this?

Russia would do it to hide Ukraine’s successes as a democracy from its population. In this way, Ukraine would pose less of a threat to Russia’s government.

Apparently the theory that Ukraine posed the threat to Russia's government is incorrect. Russia attacked because it wanted to occupy Ukraine and convert Ukrainians into Russians.
