Russia Ukraine war, page-198314

You are someone who is aware of the workings of the world as we know it today. Or should be.
Rightly or wrongly.
USA would never except a Canada or Mexico allied with BRICs and a Russian and or Chinese military alliance.
USA would put an end to it. As we saw with Cuba in the 1960's
So why do think Russia would accept a Ukraine in the same way.
You sound like a dreamer and a someone who is naive to the present situation.
In any case. I am sure Ukraine and Zalensky would have had a zillion chances to stay neutral after he got elected .But chose this present path, knowing full well of the consequences.
