Eastern Ukraine was not onboard with joining the EU. Once their president got kicked out they revolted. Russian has popular support in eastern Ukraine. Then there was the Minsk agreement that was agreed and signed clearly baring Ukraine from seeking to join NATO in exchange for Russia promising not to invade. What did Ukraine do afterwards? Try to join NATO.

The EU and NATO they will eventually have to settle score with Russia.. Ukraine was attacked due to them solely. They know that they are the enemy and eventually a battle they will have to face upto and this was their plan all along to end this Russian chapter in WW3 in order to ethblish another world order but they are waiting for economic crash an time it with that.. It is their long term stragetic plan to end this Russian chapter

"Deeply Dissatisfied" With India Position: Ukraine Envoy As Russia Attacks​

Ukraine envoy said, "The recommendations and statement of your Ministry of External affairs -- that was India is closely following the development of events. We are deeply dissatisfied with this position"​



At the rate things are going it probably won't matter since a new Ukranian government will approve India's position.

Their army is still fighting. The Russians will bomb them for 1 week straight because they thought they will give up. The Russians are now preaching brotherhood and telling them they love them on loudspeakers in hopes of getting the Ukrainians to stop fighting.

I wrote this back in March 2020:

Security:

On the security front, with threats from hybrid warfare and frozen conflicts along the crucial eastern border with Balkan states, uncontrolled migration, risk of returning foreign fighters, asymmetric warfare and individual self-radicalisation; Europe faces some considerable security challenges over the coming years.
Furthermore, the European Union's membership of NATO means that Russia sees the Union as a strategic buffer for NATO and a challenge to its long-term interests to exert Russian influence in the region bordering eastern Europe.

Russia has been engaged in testing the E.Us boundary lines and response times through snap exercises. Moscow's doctrine of Anti access and area denial seeks to deny NATO forces any access in key areas bordering Russia such as the Black Sea, Baltic Sea, the far north and eastern Mediterranean by deploying missile batteries and anti-air defences.

The hardening of Moscow's posture towards the EU has come as a result of the EU's stance towards Russia, which mirrors NATO policy of maintaining deterrence through superiority.

The E.U's reliance on NATO's deterrence mantra is ultimately no guarantee against small scale surprise Russian offensives such as the one seen in South Ossetia, Georgia in 2008 and the support of partisan forces as witnessed in the Crimea, ultimately due to Russia's ability to leverage its nuclear assets to its tactical advantage.
Russia's ambition is to regain the strategic depth it lost with the dissolution of the Soviet Union should be a cause for concern for Europe.

In recent years, in light of political uncertainty in Europe and U.S frustrations in Afghanistan and Syria, Russia has capitalised on the chaos to showcase its role as a major power broker.
Russia has engaged China and Pakistan to host talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan in at attempt gain importance in the international relations arena as a broker for peace and regional stability.

Russia continues to see the Georgian NATO membership bid as expansionism and thus will continue to pose a risk to E.U ambitions of stability and greater integration.

With frozen conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine, the risk of a flashpoint along the eastern border is a risk that the EU must address by taking the Visegrad group of nations into confidence on EUs future stance on Russia.
Another area of concern for Europe comes from the growing instability the Mediterranean along the border of Greece and Turkey. The slow return of irregular migrants to Turkey from Greece has frustrated EU efforts to strengthen border controls.
