Nonsense. The core thing to remember is that Ukraine had a neutrality agreement with Russia. They signed it when they gave up nukes in 1991.

Once Russia tore up that agreement and invaded, what other options did Ukraine have but a desperate attempt at an alliance with the west?

1” They signed it when they gave up nukes in 1991.”

1994. They voted for independence in 1991.

Would that be the same west that has allowed itself to become very dependent on Russian energy, mineral and agricultural exports? Just asking for a friend.

“Nonsense.”

You apparently did not read the story. Either that or you work for the deep state.

That agreement was that Ukraine would be neutral, non-aligned. One, that nation ended with a CIA/State department coup. Russia has no treaties with that new nation. Two, even if you stand on that agreement of 1994 (not 1991) that agreement included Ukraine being neutral.

The coup and deep alignment with NATO abrogated that agreement. And I for one am very happy the Nazi Azov battalion has no nukes.

Apparently the Russians don’t think the Ukrainians are as “neutral” as you do.
