I'm sorry for Ukraine, but they've committed a grave error
trying to snuggle up to NATO too early. It might have worked
if they'd waited another 50 years or so, or until relations
of Russia with the west had developed into solid mutual trust.
Unfortunately, that is now out of the question.

Rather, they were too late: Ukraine was commited to neutrality.
But it was attacked by Russia in 2014 and they wanted protection
against next attack.  And predictably NATO did not want to
get involved in frozen war.
