 Much of what Europe looks like today did not look like Europe 200 years ago because outside influences decided where the borders were crossed. I mean, Pakistan and India was one country 100 years ago. Now it's two. So this isn't the first time and it won't be the last time the territorial disputes are had between countries. But what Putin has always said from the very beginning is that I don't want Ukraine to be a part of NATO because that makes it more or less part of the West.
