Summary
Conventional wisdom in the West blames the Ukraine crisis on Russian aggression. But this account is wrong: Washington and its European allies actually share most of the responsibility, having spent decades pushing east into Russia’s natural sphere of interest.

Good source of information.. but form your own views
Haven’t checked his times /dates meetings and briefings of the protagonists will take them as being accurate…. Detect a Russian Point of view but with that said .. he softens out towards the end .. your logic would normally fall behind a country wishing to express itself in the way it feels however with the history and the location…. “steady as she goes” would surely be the shout to the captain of this ship… antagonising the brown bear that’s your next door neighbour surely it’s not a great idea especially with your (allies )poking with their long political sticks from their homes safely far away .. The Great Bears reach and power has dwindled over the years and continues to do so.. don’t give it a reason to become hungry again..A neutral Ukraine should be considered safer for all..

Interesting.
An interesting take on the Russian invasion of Crimea. Throughout this listen there are points at which a Russian perspective is put forward that makes you think differently from the normal narrative.
Give it a listen.

interesting point of view
interesting point of view, there is a lot more going on to which there isn't enough time to cover all aspects of the crisis.

Prescient
As the war unfolds in the Ukraine, this short article argues 'the West's' (the EU and NATO) expansion eastwards has enraged Russian leaders. Whilst we in the West all wish for democracy and economic wealth Russia still has the old world. Realist view, of international relations. Perhaps we if our leaders had paid more attention to this we could have avoided such a destructive war. My commiserations to all of the dead and their grieving families.
