China signed on in 1994
China and France gave security assurances for Ukraine in separate documents. China's governmental statement of 4 December 1994 did not call for mandatory consultations if questions arose but only for "fair consultations". France's declaration of 5 December 1994 did not mention consultations

There was a more specific agreement signed in December 2013, just between China and Ukraine:
China’s ‘unusual’ nuclear pact with Ukraine’s Yanukovich
Sources report that Iran received a shipment of Western-made anti-tank weapons intercepted by Russia in Ukraine. The concern is that Iran may attempt to reverse engineer these weapons and supply Russia with another source of weapons.
Ukraine War: Russia paid Iran €140m for 'suicide drones' | Sky News
It's going to take time to reverse engineer any tech Iran gets. Iran managed to hijack a US drone in Afghanistan and steal it. One of the Iranian drones made today looks like the one they stole. It took them a few years before they were making their own military drones.
Russia doesn't have a few years in this war with Ukraine. The country is destabilizing internally and may fall into civil war within the next year.
Iran also has limitations on what kind of electronics it can get. US AT weapons may use electronics tech the Iranians can't get in any quantity.
I seriously doubt they will get anything beyond 1, and perhaps not even that.
If they get their territory restored, they won't invade Russia itself to enforce the rest of the "requirements". So there really is no Item #2.
Even if Ukraine wanted to get reparations and some sort of guarantee of non-invasion in the future, it would be impossible to enforce and it's unlikely they would get support from their allies in the West for any efforts beyond their borders.
So "Conditions for Peace Negotiations with Russia" is just one. Restoring territorial integrity.
I am a bit surprised that returning Ukrainian citizens and in particular children is not on this list.
There is talk of giving Ukraine the money impounded in the west, which is probably the only money they are going to get from Russia. They may get a backdoor guarantee that it won't happen again. If Russia is left a wreck after a civil war, whether broken into many countries or still held together they aren't going to be in any shape to attack Ukraine for decades.
But I agree some of those points will probably never be met.

Is Chrystia Freeland a Nazi collaborator apologist? Jeremy Appel explores this important issue

Being a Ukrainian in WW II is a difficult place to be. Your choices are: support the Germans, support Stalin, or run and hide. There are no other options. If you want to take action, it's going to support one side or the other.
The true opinions of her grandfather are lost to time. Was he supporting the Germans from negative partisanship, ie he wasn't a fan of Nazism but hated the communists more, or was he pro-Nazi. The actions may be the same, but from 80 years on, the motivations are important for context and we don't have that.
This is another example of canceling someone because they had an ancestor who did something questionable without knowing their true motivation. If we want to do that to everyone with questionable ancestors we need to cancel all 8 billion humans on Earth. All of us have ancestors that did something to be canceled for.
