Ukraine is the victim, Russia is the aggressor through proxies.
Really? I'd say that the Ukraine is the rope in a tug of war between the West and Russia, but victim of Russia's aggression? Probably, but I'd also add that they're a victim of the west's meddling too.
The US has reneged on pretty much every agreement with Russia regarding NATO expansion, to the point that it now sits at Russia's doorstep. What we all expected I'm not sure.
The west engineered the over throw of a democratically elected government in Ukraine, like it or not, it was a democratically elected government......now, let me ask you, if Russia had tried to exert similar influence over, say, Mexico, how do you think the US would react?
The US and the EU are being played like fools, and as far as I can see, there isn't a fat lot of good they can do about it.
