Don’t understand the hostile tone. Are you on some moral crusade that you forgot to announce? When your neighbor’s Russia, China or the US what one wants is perhaps less important than what the superpower next door wants. Ukraine and the EU knew this and wouldn’t have tried anything on their own unless the US wouldn’t have offered guarantees. Except unfortunately for Ukraine nobody can guarantee that Russia won’t bomb them to bits and whatever happens they’ll continue to have an angry neighbor with thousands of nuclear weapons on their doorstep. There is no such right to annex neighbors, that idea is silly. Superpowers do whatever they can get away with and Russia can certainly invade Ukraine, even if the outcome remains to be seen - could be anything from loss of territory to global destruction. The EU threatened things, but there was lots of disagreement internally and there’s still disagreement around for example energy imports. It makes a difference, but it’s no secret that the EU expected Ukraine to quickly fall and afterwards it would have been sanctions as usual.
