Everything that happened before Crimea happened in Ukraine and was none of Russia’s business. Ukrainians never attacked Russia or did anything to provoke Russia’s premeditated invasion which was planned for years.
That's not how Ukrainians saw it.....if it was none of Russia's business then why were they concerned about Russia shutting of their oil?.....It's obvious just with the pipelines alone it was very much Russia's business...and the huge debt Ukraine owes Russia....not to mention Putin wasn't about to let his ports go to any other himself.
We would do likewise...and do concerning our dependence on Saudi Oil......you don't think we went into Kuwait just because Saddam was going into Kuwait do you?
To say Ukraine wasn't Russia's business you have to have a limited understanding of the region and all those surrounding Russia...as well Nato’s agenda for it all.
