The narratives regarding the war in Ukraine, here in Brazil, are very different from what is treated in most Western countries, I think. In Brazil, nationalists and left-wing parties claim that Russia has an enormous justification for invading Ukraine, because of the advance of NATO bases in Eastern Europe. Right-wing parties do not like the proximity to BRICS, however, they cannot be emphatic, simply because China is an excellent trading partner.
I'm never going to describe something like Russia's invasion as "justified", but it was absolutely provoked by the west.
On that note, Scott Horton's book Provoked just came out. Scott lays out the case that Russia was provoked, in great detail.

There are many factors regarding the invasion of Ukraine: Ukraine's entry into the European Union to economically suffocate Russia, the annexation of Crimea and the separatist regions within Ukrainian territory. Thank you for recommending the book... I really like this topic of geopolitics
