Good background: WaPo ticktock on Biden actions in 2 weeks before the invasion

For people under 30, most of Europe [Balkans excepted] has been at peace, democratic, with freedom of movement of people and goods. That era has ended. We’re back to 19th century politics with 21st century weapons. The first sad lesson about Ukraine that comes to me is what the Indian defense minister said right after the Gulf War in 1991: “Never fight the U.S. without nuclear weapons.” Ukraine surrendered theirs in return for security guarantees from the US and Russia.
On domestic politics, see this centrist Democratic critique of the party’s direction.
