the Western world decided an independent Ukraine had to exist even if everyone involved knew it was going to be a very painful and expensive endeavour to keep it.

Tell us you're a troll without saying you are one. The Western world isn't the arbiter of global politics. Ukraine voted for independence in 1990 and the rest of the world recognised them as an independent country that could exercise their own domestic and foreign policy. Whether they align with the West is none of other's concern. Denying a country of such right is essentially enabling Russia's genocidal intent on Ukraine.
