- It has shared borders with EU countries.
- Ex-USSR countries in the EU understandably feel a little touchy about Russia claiming a natural right to invade an ex-USSR country.
- In many countries where horrible things are happening, the horrible things are internal and the result of civil war or a corrupt government. In many cases it's doubtful that outside intervention would help. In the case of Ukraine, it's pretty straightforward: other country invades -> we send lots of tanks for Ukraine to defend itself -> other country is repealed -> Ukraine is not being invaded anymore -> things have improved.
> I very much do not want to sacrifice even the tiniest bit of quality of life because of whatever happens in Ukraine.
Obviously people who disagree outnumber you. Telling them "No! You're wrong! Don't you see the wisdom of my cynicism?" is not going to budge anybody at this point.
