In 2014, Russia illegally invaded and annexed Crimea. That's one thing that happened before.
Something that didn't happen? Ukraine never asked to join NATO. They didn't want to give Putin an excuse. Turned out he didn't need one, he invaded anyway. He thought it would be easy, so he did it.
The situation in Ukraine is entirely on Russia's shoulders. Not Ukraine's. Not the US. Not NATO.
