The Ukrainians WANTED to be used as pawns by the filthy, evil Biden regime. They chose poorly.
That’s false. The Ukrainians since 2004 have been trying to get away from the corrupt Moscow mode of governance.
They first applied to join NATO in 2008 along with Georgia. That was rejected by Germany and France for fear of “provoking Russia “. 6 weeks after the rejection Putin invaded Georgia.
6 years later he invaded Ukraine and grabbed territory and created a frozen conflict.
