If Ukraine had any smart politicians who really understood what NAM did, neither superpower would be launching missiles on Ukraine. Neither NAM nor UN makes a difference if one does not have experienced politicians who genuinely care about their countrymen. From what I have read about independent Ukraine's short political history, only Leonid Kuchma stands out as the smartest Ukranian politician so far. He seemed to understand an important political axiom that all good politicians abide by - there are no permanent enemies, only future opponents and allies. That's why he worked to develop a good relationship with Russia as well as improve ties with the west. He understood the importance of not getting caught between the egos of the superpowers while also using their rivalry for Ukraine's benefit, without antagonising both. That is how he managed to create a stable economic climate to initiate economic growth and reform for a brief period. After him, Ukraine just seems to have had a string of shitty politicians - some who didn't know how to manage foreign powers interfering in their domestic politics and some who were willing to sacrifice their country's interest and work with foreign powers to be in political power at any cost. > Ukraine with its standing army and modern military equipment will be among the most powerful European countries at the end of this war It is very naive of you to believe that UK, France or Germany will allow that.
