Reasons of Ukraine's suffering

When Russians discuss Ukrainian tragedy they do it emotionally because its really heart touching for all of us. But I was thinking of reasons of Ukraine's suffering. Its secondary what position your country can take on the global geopolitical chessboard. But what is more important is society's ability to ensure good life for every its citizen and demonstrate it to others. Among all other reasons discussed many times Ukraine probably also became a victim of old-fashioned views on the geopolitical picture. Europe became multi-polar. Russia is not global superpower and became completely different society, not an enemy to Western Europe. Moreover Russia will continue economical integration with the rest of Europe. Its is very sad that Ukrainians do not demonstrate their positive class of citizens that is capable to deal with problems in a different way than aggressive conflict and war. The good example of this is Nepal. Its youth proved that it's quite possible to adopt new patterns of behavior and deal with issues with the help of public dialogue after long years of suffering.
