As Ukraine gears up for the second round of the presidential election, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and NATO have invited the country to participate in their alliances in one way or another.

Ukraine is an independent nation with freedom of choice. If the Ukrainian people want they can join the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB. Also Russia has the freedom to join the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB or CSTO or NATO or whatever they desire, if accepted.
Why does NATO feel the need to keep expanding eastwards?

Oranges just for lunch. No more experiments. Confrontation between Russia and Ukraine mean Civil War as both nations share a common past and a broadly a common language, religion and alphabet. Ukraine can take into account the examples of Finland and Ireland, both in the E.U. but not part of NATO. Or it can have a Customs Union both with the E.U. and the Russian Federation. If Ukraine joins NATO it will be self-defensive for Russia the integration of the Donbas Republic and Crimea as federal subjects.
