Perhaps Boris Johnson shouldn't have interfered with the peace process at the behest of the United States.

Anyways I'm sure the Ukrainian citizens enjoy being used as props to justify inhumane actions.

Can you elaborate on what you believe to have been this "peace process" you speak of?

Even today, when the Kremlin is begging for the Ukraine war to go away, they are bombing civilians and Kiev and threatening Armenia with a war of invasion.

The same peace they enjoyed for decades before the UN decided to court Ukraine for membership. They had balance of trade agreements, resource use agreements, and generalized peace.

Can you elaborate as to why you seem to think this was impossible?

Russia started invading Ukraine in 2014. Who do you think you are fooling?

Also, are you conveniently forgetting that Russia invaded Ukraine? Meaning, Russia started this whole mess?

...NATO?

Also, NATO accession talks for Ukraine were dead for years when Russia invaded Crimea. The notion that Russia was forced to invade Ukraine holds up about as much as the claim that America was forced to bomb Iran.
