  • Minsk accords were meant to stop fighting in Donbas and work out a compromise.

    Donbas that Russia had invaded and occupied (in addition to the Crimea). What compromise would have been suitable other than Russia fucking all the way off back to its own territory?

    In 2023 Zelensky pushed forward with plans to apply to NATO so Russia invaded.

    You seem to think that there's a link between these two events. Could you explain what it is?

    I don't think you have to be a Putin sympathiser or have swallowed a propaganda pill to be able to read a map and understand why Putin would not want the EU and Nato to be on their doorstep and reduce Russian controlled access to the Black Sea down to ¼ with the remainder being controlled by Nato allies.

    They clearly would have struggled to invade once Ukraine were in Nato.

  • Yes, but the OP highlighted that Zelensky pushed plans to join NATO in 2023. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and made his big offensive to take the rest of Ukraine in Feb 2022.

  • Prisoners of Geography is a good read on this
