Vladimir Putin did not wake up on 24 February 2022 and decide, “I think I’ll invade eastern Ukraine today,” nor was the US campaign to expand NATO into Ukraine a last-minute maneuver. (US State Department documents show Ukraine’s future membership was discussed as early as 1994.)
Russia had been given categoric assurances since the fall of the Berlin Wall that NATO “ would not move an inch further Eastwards”
USA and Europe reneged on that deal and expanded over 1000kms.
Russia displayed restraint but for over a decade they have emphasised Ukraine was a red line not to be crossed.Understandably NATO nuclear warheads on the Russian is unacceptable to them
