EU and Ukraine (note NOT "The") wanted to agree on a partnership, there was and is no mention of Ukraine entering the EU or as you put it the EU annexing Ukraine. Putin didn't like it however and blocked it as he was afraid Ukraine was leaving the Russian sphere of influence, by using his puppet Yanukovich who was president at the time.
This led to a revolt by the Ukrainian people
As a result Yanukovich was ousted by the popular uprising (during which he ordered the police to shoot life rounds at the crowds and over a 100 people died) and fled to Russia

I stayed at that CityStay Hotel in Bow where they stayed when the prices of other hotels were through the roof near CW due to the boat show at Excel.
Cheap and dated, but a lockable door and free wifi was all I was bothered about for a couple of night's sleep.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Do please avoid personal attacks as you aren't equipped for a battle of wits.
The EU was creating stronger economic & political bonds with Ukraine, Russia publicly made it clear that they were very unhappy about this as Crimea is part of the mouth of the Black sea where the Russian fleet sits. A number of military experts explained this at length on the news.
The EU & Ukraine continued to get closer together and probably the most dangerous western world leader reacted. Of course the EU did f. all and the poor bastards in the Crimea & Ukraine paid for the EU's stupidity.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostMurder is never OK. Let's be honest, that's what it leads to. Nevertheless, antagonising nations without a good plan and a threat to deadlock the ascent of power is just plain stupid. The EU showed the world that they were not statesman of any calibre. The Russians see the region as their sphere and everyone know it.
