The strong objection must not be, only, the fact that Ukraine is a country closely linked to Russia, with common historical roots, that would be moving away from the orbit of Russian influence towards the Western Alliance and the European Union. But, mainly, always according to President Putin's line of reasoning, it would be another step in NATO's continued expansion towards Russian borders..
