I saw an interesting take on that. When the Soviet Union fell apart, Ukraine inherited all the nuclear weapons that were physically present in Ukraine. Ukraine struck a deal with the US and UK, to give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for a self-defense treaty. Now they're being threatened by Russia, while the US and UK do nothing.
The article said the lesson is "Never give up your weapons!"

Oh yeah, I forgot about that aspect of the whole situation with the Ukraine.
