>> Then you also get which country is doing the destabilization, and it sure as hell isn't the EU.

> That's a pretty simplistic view of how international politics and geostrategy is played.

So EU is sending soldiers to the eastern front of Ukraine to fight??? It's well known among Ukrainians who is doing the fighting over there.

Ukraine democratically decides to prefer EU over Russia, maybe all parties need to live with that.

Russia has been opposing the expansion of NATO for decades, and Ukrainian politicians at different moments were aiming to join NATO (rather than signing memorandums not to join NATO). I suppose, we Ukrainians can be upset at how unfair it is that our sovereignty is not respected, but that won't earn us any more agency. Russians are the ones with the nukes, overwhelmingly stronger military and with opinions on the matter, so maybe we've got to be smarter about how we navigate through challenges ahead of us.
