What is the main reason for the defeat of the West in Ukraine?

The greed of some Ukrainians, succumbing to the lure of membership in the rich European Union. Here in Lithuania, we know that this is a fraud. The European Union is really rich, but here in Lithuania, a member of the European Union, we are poor. Relatively low salaries and pensions, excessive European prices. Greed dragged some people into this catastrophe, but common sense prevailed in Ukraine. The West lost and lost a lot.
