No, obviously not.

The west did lie when they said they weren’t going to expand NATO eastwards, and Russia was scared of Ukrainians choosing to join NATO (and the EU), like the USA was scared over nuclear missiles deployed to Cuba. But it’s the Ukrainians who get to choose if they want to join NATO and the EU, not Russians; like Cubans choose to partner with the Soviets (or Chinese) in the face of Operation Mongoose.

Yes, western voters are imperialist monsters, and yes Russians are worse. Yes, Ukraine is corrupt, and Russia is more corrupt. Yes there are a small number of neo-nazis in Ukraine, but there are also some in Russia and the USA. But it’s the Ukrainians who get to choose if they want to join NATO and the EU, not Russians.
