Nothing has been more damaging to the Western position on this issue than its foreign-policy elite’s head-in-the-sand refusal to acknowledge that open-ended NATO enlargement—and especially the 2008 invitation to Ukraine and Georgia to prepare applications for future admission—was a strategic blunder. That is the most important of the “root causes” that Putin has claimed must be addressed in a peace deal, and the one that the Western apostles of expansion have been most vehement in trying to deny or ignore. None of this justifies Putin’s illegal preventive war, but it’s hard to end a serious conflict if no one acknowledges and addresses the reasons that it started in the first place.
