Here are some facts for you:

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, they were officially neutral (law from 2010, pushed by Russia). At the time of the invasion, there was neither political nor public will to join NATO.

Another fact: Maidan was not about joining NATO, but having equal economic ties to both Russia and EU.

So can you acknowledge that Russia didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO expansion?

Does it sound weird to you that after Russia's invasion in 2014, Ukraine cancelled their neutral status and wanted to join NATO?
