It's you who is bullshitting here.
That was not in Ukrainian Constitution until Russia invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine. Before that Ukraine declared itself as a completely neutral state relying entirely on the Budapest Guarantees.
- busterarm 5y agoI mentioned it first but I didn't put that at the front of the chain of events. Ukraine and EU/NATO have been courting each other since the Orange Revolution. EU and NATO ascension were at the top of Viktor Yushchenko's priority list from the day he won. He was working on a NATO membership action plan right up until Victor Yanukovych became PM and the divided government killed that proposal. Then he tried again in 2008 and Russia finally came out in full opposition.
