Ukraine had no realistic prospect of joining NATO any time soon (that may change since the invasion). Without the expansion of NATO it might have been the baltic states that were on the recieving end of a 'special operation' long before now. And they would have been much less able to defend themselves than Ukraine has been. Pretty much every country has a 'neo-Nazi element'. Including Britain and the US. It isn't clear to me that Ukraine was any worse in this respect. >in a government that attempted to ban the Russian language "Ukraine’s parliament approved a law on Thursday that grants special status to the Ukrainian language and makes it mandatory for public sector workers" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-parliament-language-idUSKCN1S111N https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-parliament-langua... If that what you are referring to? That doesn't sound like a ban on the Russian language to me.
