Considering Ukraine’s western allies have openly stated the purpose of previous “agreements” was to give Ukraine time to prepare and that they equally had no intention of adhering to them perhaps those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Russia equally has no reason to believe Ukraine, America or anyone else is acting in good faith. Arming itself, and preparing for further instability at it’s borders would be entirely rational. Who knows where the CIA is planning it’s next coup.
