What does Ukraine want?

You may think that this is a 'smart' or 'moral' question. But, it really isn't.

To be left alone so that it doesn't suffer casualties.

That's what Ukraine wanted, but we pushed them into non-neutrality and anti-Russia.

Contrary to popular belief, that is only a small consideration in geostrategic security politics.
