I’m happy to defer to your knowledge of military topics, but that still doesn’t sound like a reason to blame specially the EU — an organisation which doesn’t have its own military, and whose members mutual defence arrangement explicitly comes second to any NATO obligations that member states might have.

Blame the UK or the USA for not holding Russia to the agreement, if you like, but blaming the EU makes a bit less sense than blaming the OSCE.

The USA wasn't holding talks to draw the Ukraine closer into its sphere of influence. The UK was involved, and I agree - as a part of the EU it deserves a dollop of blame for the resulting mess.

And what a mess.
