Let's be honest the real reason Putin invaded Ukraine is because he wanted a Russia controlled buffer between mainland Russia and the west.

What could possibly have led him to decide thats what would be best for the ruling class of his country? Did he or other members of the Russian government never express this sentiment? If they did, what were their reasons, and regardless of what those reasons were, why wasn't enough done about them?

Are all questions you should think about and look into maybe

Putin reneged on the 2014 agreement HE made with Ukraine in an effort to steal land and eliminate dissidents.

Get fucked with any spin you're trying to put on it. Putin is dishonest, he is a short, little man with no honor. Only cowards with no backbone can defend that shitbag. Go on with whataboutisms of the west, I'm also openly hostile to those leaders 🤷

You're a hypocrite.

Honestly, he wants to return Russia to it's 'glory days', which means back when it was an imperial power, and they could send tanks into Hungary to crush people protesting for democracy. When Ukrainians threw out their pro-Russian president, he saw that influence he wanted slipping away.
