The war waged on Ukraine by Russia started after Ukraine’s decision to join NATO which the Russian government promised not to allow.
The Russian government has been notoriously resisting the inclination of Ukraine towards NATO as the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei recently, reiterated that: “for us, it is absolutely mandatory to ensure that Ukraine never, ever becomes a member of NATO.”
All efforts to avoid the invasion proved abortive as the Russian President, Vladmir Putin, gave blackout to proposed reconciliatory requests put to him by the USA and other influential world leaders.
