Wasn't it the NATO countries that looked on silently as the US destroyed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty? They stood by when Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. They allowed the Americans to quit the Open Skies Treaty, which made that agreement worthless as an effective mechanism for controlling military activities. Was it not the NATO countries that took part in the bombing of Yugoslavia, the attack on Libya, the invasion of Iraq? For 20 years, they led the situation in Afghanistan to total degradation, and when they ran away, they left behind weapons worth billions of dollars! For eight years, Western nations have watched passively the killing and abuse of thousands of civilians in southeastern Ukraine. Effectively, they became accomplices to the long-term genocide of the inhabitants of the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics. NATO's intention to continue pumping weapons into Ukraine, including air defence systems, speaks of one thing: the United States and its allies are not interested in resolving the crisis in this country. The Western bloc continues to build up its military forces and infrastructure near Russia, and engaging in the military buildup of alliance members near Russia, using their resources to develop plans to 'contain' Russia. We cannot ignore such a confrontational course toward Russia, Especially when key security concerns are unanswered.

Very accurate as far as i can tell. But i have to say, that there is a 3rd point which is actually the most important. It's a very long story, so to keep it simple - Ukraine have nuclear technology left from USSR which can be used to build new nuclear armaments to use against Russia. And this is the very reason why current situation is happening. Just a few weeks ago the President of Ukraine, made the biggest mistake a politic could've ever done in his career. He bragged about nuclear potential of Ukraine thanks to legacy of USSR. He was trying to assure that Ukraine can, and will use it to force their political cause against Russia, and he did all that BEFORE he actually had any of nuclear armaments. Putin actually got this threat very serious. Extremely in fact. He established a meeting with military personal in attempt to get the short answer to a simple question - is this nonsense that Zelensky said back then - is actually possible? To which millitary specialists said yes, it is possible. Ukraine indeed does have potential both science, material, finance, technology to create nuclear armaments if it is needed. That's it. That's why we are here. That's why this operation focuses on very literal disarming of entire Ukraine. It's not about taking over Ukraine, it's about making sure that nonsense with building nuclear armaments won't happen. That's why Putin was forced to act. Everything else is just bonus. I hope this will make it more clear for you to understand what is happening and why.

Short but very concise, everything that I need in the recent issue of Ukraine and Russia is here.

Russia - Ukraine Conflict Relations between Russia and Ukraine have been hostile since the Revolution of Dignity in the year 2014. The Revolution of Dignity refers to a series of violent events involving protesters, riot police, and unknown shooters in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, which culminated in the ousting of the country’s elected President Viktor Yanukovych and the overthrow of the Ukrainian government. The protests developed because the Ukrainian President refused to sign a political association to the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), however, many Ukrainian stakeholders wanted their country to join with NATO. The subsequent Ukraine's post-revolutionary government sought to commit the country to the EU and NATO, rather than continue to play a neutral and diplomatic role with Russia, the EU, and NATO members. Given these concerns, in February and March 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine. It forcefully annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. Russia formally incorporated Crimea as two Russian federal subjects, the first being the Republic of Crimea, the second being the federal city of Sevastopol. This was done on 18 March 2014. This move prompted the other members of the then G8 to suspend Russia from the group. The other members of the G8 also agreed to the introduction of a first round of sanctions against Russia. However, these sanctions were not effective as Russia is a large influential country and it continues to trade with several countries, including the G8 countries. Earlier in 2004, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia had joined the EU. Later in 2007, Bulgaria and Romania also joined the EU. Subsequently, the Russian government fears that Ukraine's membership to the EU and NATO would complete a western wall of allied countries in Europe. Also, it could restrict Russia's access to the Black Sea. Furthermore, South Korea and Japan are presently allied to the United States (US). Therefore, the Russian government was concerned of the potential for the country to become ring-fenced by hostile powers. In 2019, amendments were made to the Constitution of Ukraine, which the post-revolutionary government took step to push Ukraine closer towards EU and NATO membership. Throughout 2021 and the beginning of 2022, tensions between Ukraine and Russia were building up as Russia was mounting a military presence at Ukraine’s border. During this period, the US has condemned Russia’s actions through diplomatic press releases, but took no military action against Russia. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion on Ukraine.

Ukraine was a democracy with a democratically elected leader. When people say "Ukraine" was moving more towards the West it's because the majority of people in Ukraine are moving toward the West - especially after Russia's annexation of Crimea. As a democracy works, Zelenskyy is a representation of his people and his people desired to join NATO. Russia, on the other hand, is a dictatorship. It isn't necessarily Russia that wants Ukraine - it's Putin. That's why the focus has been so heavily on Putin as opposed to Russia.

Ukraine asked to be a NATO member several times. NATO always refused. It's definitely about keeping Ukraine subjugated like Russia does with Belarus. Putin can't deal with the fact that the USSR crumbled and that neighboring countries don't want to emulate the Russian model of autocracy. He doesn't want former Soviet countries to show that there's an alternative to his rule that could inspire the Russian people. If Putin doesn't want to have more borders with NATO countries, why is he invading Ukraine and therefore getting closer to Poland and Romania?

Apparently the conditions of the USSR are not well understood. Please recall, living conditions were terrible in the USSR. This is largely why nations started to turn towards a perceived alternative at the time. NATO is not an offensive force and is used as a deterrent. The territories that turned to NATO were not conquered, so his narrative of NATO "aggressively expanding towards our territory" are ridiculous because no one did that. Just to give an example, NATO built a system designed to shoot down missiles using non-explosive devices. It's systems literally can't be used to fire at the ground or launch explosive rounds. Putin is saying THAT is a direct threat to Russia. When someone says that, they mean that someone can do damage to targets on the ground in their territory. It's nonsense. Also, Russia was invited to be part of the development of those missile systems and refused.

Would US be ok, if Mexico entered a military alliance with Russia. Ukraine should never become part of NATO, neither should Estonia or Latvia. West created the Ukraine crisis which is playing out currently in this manner

It seems to me that the interpretation at 2:44 is unlikely purely for practical and financial reasons: why would then Russias build an expensive bridge that already connects Crimea with Russian mainland (Kerch Strait Bridge) if they had a plan to do that by annexing the Donbass?

Valid points ... but as usual , dictator who was ex-spy Kgb during USSR with a paranoia everyone gonna attack us (when was the last time Nato officially send troops to attack rusia on rusian soil since the fall of Ussr - none i can recall) not gonna leave the opportunities to get a piece of sizeable land (donbass) if there are enough like minded people who love and support the dictator , sadly betraying the independent country they living in for years since the fall of USSR (prorusian rebel and prorusian rusian speaking people who already live there for decades) and strategic land and maritime hotspot for millitary purpose (border directly facing russia and the priceless black sea in particularly the sea of azov a crucial link to caspian sea via Volga-Don Canal - gateway to the West europe-middle east, atlantic ,africa, north/south american,asia ). Expansion of power both military and economy, bulldoze smaller nations that it calls brothers or own neighbors to push its blatant international law crime agenda

Thank you for explaining this clearly. But nevertheless this is scary.

I feel Putin is right when he says "we didn't go near US or UK, they came to us" . Ukraine joining NATO is actually kind of a red flag for Russian national security. Every country would retaliate. US led NATO should have respected that concern

Is it possible the threat to Ukraine is motivating Ukraine to look for support from NATO regardless of Russia's view of Ukraine. Hope things return to a peaceful situation. As the ecology cant afford another war. Nations talk about their rights fair comment. But rights must accompanied by there own sense of responsibility. Hope common sense prevails.

Excellent explanation. I have an overwhelming feeling of sadness for the people of Ukraine. I'm sure all they want is to live their lives safely and peacefully. Just a needless loss of life which I suspect will achieve nothing.

For those ignorant of the facts this is why we are getting involved..1994 Budapest memorandum .To solidify security commitments to Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances on December 5, 1994. A political agreement in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Accords, the memorandum included security assurances against the threat or use of force against Ukraine’s territory or political independence. The countries promised to respect the sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine. Parallel memorandums part of Russia from 1922 to 1991

Does not Russia realize that being aggressive to their neighbors so they dont joint NATO, is changing the mindset to become Pro-NATO ?.

If Ukraine joined NATO, it could pose a serious threat to Russia`s national security, and Putin`s concern is understandable. However, Putin does not respect Unkaine`s sovereignty at all, and Russia cannot hold Ukraine in the hollow of her hand without Ukrainian people`s agreement. Putin should think why not only former Warsaw Pact nations but also Ukraine prefer to join NATO rather than Russia`s protection. Then, he will find there is no justifications to put Ukraine under control.
