@lxo your points regarding the US meddling on other continents are valid. For the idea you pose on Ukraine to be convincing, it would be important to elaborate why Russia is not the primary cause of the situation. At this point (Eastern) Europe does not trust Russia due to their past experience. Russia meddled in Europe, while the US gained a lot of trust with the Marshall Plan.
How could Ukraine and maybe also Europe move to a situation with autonomy?
