This is very brutal to watch... it is a shame that Putin gets referred to as a President. We should refer to him by what he is... a dictator.
The biggest mistake Ukraine made was allowing their nuclear weapons to be removed in the early 1990's. I was in college when the US and UK pushed for removal and guaranteed Ukraine's safety (which makes the US and UK morally obligated to keep helping). My fellow students cheered the "no nukes" decision... I couldn't understand why an independent country would voluntarily give up weapons that insured their independence. My professors assured me everyone would be safer in the long run. Fortunately the US and UK kept their nuclear arsenals - it's a shame Ukraine let theirs go.
