When the Ukraine became a proxy of NATO and the US, by allowing the CIA to throw a coup in their country, they disappeared as a nation. Now the Ukraine is collecting proxy prices. They have absolutely no say in the matter.
In my opinion, this kind of show should be done behind the scenes. The US is giving the impression that everybody in the region is a colony and don’t have much to say about things. This is bad for business and future deals. The Trump administration is not wrong, they just need to handle things more carefully and do it behind the scenes.
