Rebels want original borders restored which will be source of conflict
That very long speech by Putin had a list of accusations that NATO was working with Ukraine to set up bases. They were setting up a station next to the Russian base in Sevastopol to monitor ships and communications. There is a collaboration agreement from 90's between Ukraine and NATO but not one that would permit bases.
US/UK are essentially incompatible with countries which won't permit foreign ownership or control of their resources and key industries. Saudis and Arab emirates got away with nationalizing oil because they have a deal with US dollar and military interests. [Post edited by lchoro at 02/23/2022 10:38AM]
