NATO wants Ukraine as a member, but promised that would never happen: not one inch east, NATO said.
In 2014 NATO tried to drag Ukraine into NATO by shooting up Maidan Square to provoke a neo-Nazi pro-NATO revolution which first chased out the pro-Russia government, and then waged war against the pro-Russia east of Ukraine. Russia then intervened to defend the east.
After MH17 that war essentially stopped.
Until now.
NATO wants Ukraine as a member.
Russia wants a neutral Ukraine with access to Crimea.
With the former NATO gets to plonk its nukes just that little bit closer to Moscow.
But as neutral observers we must also recall : Russia allowed the war on Iraq in 2003; Russia allowed the war on Libya in 2011; and Russia allowed the war on Syria until the final report on MH17 was about to be released. And then the S300 system seemed to allow Israeli missiles through.
So NATO wants Ukraine, but Russia may not be 100% independent.
