The only one pushing Ukraine into an anti Russian stance is the country invading them. A majority of Ukraine want to join NATO and a vast majority want nothing to do with Russia. If they want to join it is their right to entertain that as a sovereign country. This conflict will end with the least amount of casualties if mini Hitler gets his troops out, hopefully Ukraine puts up a resistance that makes it ultimately not worth it along with pressure domestically from protesters but it doesn't seem like Putin gives a damn about anything lately. |
Ukraine shares the border with Russia, when they join Nato, US will have the right to put their army at Ukraine, it's very near Moscow - a big threat to Russia. As a leader, Putin must act to protect Russia. |
No closer than Belarus. - Still 800kilometers/500 miles.
Russia want's Ukraine for it's resources to be self sufficient.
Either way, NATO is and will always be on Russias doorstep, it's just a political excuse to justify certain actions to placate people.
