That is shifting the blame away from Russia, which is the fascist aggressor. Ukraine did not enter NATO; Russia rejected Ukraine seeking more economical independence.
Yanukovych, who was pro-EU, was originally supposed to sign an association treaty between the EU and Ukraine; but last minute he didn’t sign, while parliament had voted with an overwhelming majority for yes.
Yanukovych probably didn’t sign due to Russian pressure, which proposed instead that Ukraine become a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. Protests grew into Euromaidan, but the anti-protest laws instated by Yanukovych’s party of oligarchs, repressed it, until he was deposed.
And then Russia invaded Ukraine and took the Crimea + the Donbass, and shot down MH17. For which Putin and Girkin still haven’t paid with their lives.
Yes it is; no it didn’t. Get out of here with your Putin apologia. Russia getting “spooked” by stupid shit and threatening to nuke things is in the first paragraph of the first page of their geopolitical playbook.
Russia invaded because Ukraine was making efforts to break away from them. I honestly think we should give Ukraine nukes so they get the security guarantee they need without joining NATO.
It is not holding its own. And the war started more or less because Russia got spooked by Ukraine entering NATO.
that is russian propaganda, and not more or less why they invaded.

Tell me you’re high AF on Putin’s pud squirt without saying you’re high AF on Putin’s chunky yogurt.
That’s incorrect.
Imagine still larping Russian propaganda in 2025 🤡
Or ever
