So Ukraine is moving closer to NATO due to a fear of offensive actions from Russia, and that is your justification for actually attacking them and invading their country? Ukraine was obviously justified in seeking a military alliance to protect itself against illegal invasions. This argument is essentially denying Ukraine's right to sovereignty. It's a bad and disingenous justification for a wholly illegal and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country.

If you are in an armed standoff with someone, you have to need a lot of trust to let them point a gun at your head in self-defense. How high do you let the gun get before you consider it provocation?

You're confusing the cause and the effect. The invasion happened after the unofficial joining of nato, obviously. Do you really think there is a country that would not react if a very big neighbouring country were to join an enemy military alliance?
