Original Note:
This is false. For many years, Ukrainians expressed a desire for closer ties with Europe, such as joining the EU & NATO, for long-term security. Yanukovych's refusal to sign an EU agreement (after pressure from Moscow) was the basis of the Euromaidan protests in 2013/14. https://theconversation.com/ukraines-push-for-nato-membership-is-rooted-in-its-european-past-and-its-future-209839 https://www.statista.com/chart/26933/ukrainians-survey-nato-eu/ https://news.gallup.com/poll/512360/ukrainians-future-west.aspx
