Putin put a red line on Ukraine joining NATO (regardless weather he has the right to) and the west didn't care about his line drawing. So I guess in international relations, there are no lines? There's nobody to set them

There was no serious chance of Ukraine joining NATO anytime soon. This is just an excuse for propaganda.

Ukraine never joined NATO. Ukraine was never even given a membership action plan.

Neither did Putin; the moving red lines were about pretext, not reasoning.
