j@mastodonThe conflict is about NATO expansion. The first step was in 1991, and in 2008 it was reaffirmed. This triggered the war in Georgia, annexation of Crimea.
It is not about submission or giving away anything, unless you see Ukraine as the west's property. Ukraine is divided and is a good part Russian ethnicity.
I don't expect the issue to be solved anywhere soon, but reaffirming NATO expansion to Ukraine is certainly making things go wrong.
