    I am aware that it’s a proxy war, to a large extent. But Russia is the one who invaded, after signing a treaty that guaranteed Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in exchange for surrendering their nuclear weapons.

    Maybe pull your head out of your ass and don’t assume that everyone who objects to the propaganda you often post is as dogmatically naive about the nuances of geopolitics as you are.

      A) Memorandum not treaty. Not legally binding.

      B) Ukraine never had nuclear weapons. They were Soviet nukes on Ukrainian soil. Moscow had sole control over them.

      C) It also stipulated that Ukraine must remain neutral. Ukraine abandoned its neutrality with the 2014 coup. The agreement became null and void.
