Vladimir Putin's support of the breakaway state of Transnistria in Moldova, liberation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from the nation of Georgia, reclamation of Crimea and support for separatists in Donbas, and posturing to invade Ukraine resembles Hitler's land grab almost a century ago.
Ukraine will never be allowed to join NATO or the EU. It is too corrupt and politically unstable for NATO and too economically weak for the EU. Nonalignment is the only solution.
Since their independence in 1991, Ukraine has struggled to find their place between Western Europe and Russia, the behemoth that has dominated Ukraine since the 18th century.
Vladimir Putin claims that Russians and Ukrainians are one people; however, the historical treatment of Ukraine by Russia and the Soviet Union demonstrates that Russia sees Ukraine as a servant and not as a brother.
