NATO's anti-Russian policy in Ukraine or elsewhere will never end. However, what would be good, is for Ukraine to resist it, and become a model nation, standing on its own feet in the world, with a clear identity and its own relationships with other world nations. Ukraine is not a Baltic puppy, needing constant attention from a mother. Ukraine, neither needs NATO or the EUSSR telling it what to do. It has a capable people, who are more than capable of governing their own destiny. They are, however, hampered at present, by the fact the some native Ukrainians are selling out Ukraine, for Euro and Dollar direct payments from US,NATO and EUSSR. These will be granted a nice housing retreat in the west, leaving the ordinary Ukrainian in a mess.
