Original Note:
Russia was not 'forced' to invade Ukraine: it was a free choice. President Putin has given many reasons for invading Ukraine unrelated to NATO expansion. He has considered Russian membership of NATO and did not object to the principle of NATO membership by Finland and Sweden. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/64718139 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/04/ex-nato-head-says-putin-wanted-to-join-alliance-early-on-in-his-rule
