Ukraine isn't the corrupt county you think it is. Even if it was, that hardly justifies an invasion.
Let's be honest the real reason Putin invaded Ukraine is because he wanted a Russia controlled buffer between mainland Russia and the west.
Ukraine is by far the most corrupt. The Ukranian government hav National Socialists in power. You might know them as Nazis. There are Ukranian officials who did kill Jews, and are now being honoured for the sake if the war against Russian. Politicians had hitmen that used chainsaws for executions. Up close and personal killings. Government of Ukraine is evil and corrupt, and the Ukranian people have always suffered because of their government, not because of Russia, pre-invasion.
Russian propaganda. There is little evidence yo backup those claims. I've also met and talked with Ukrainians. They want there country back as Russia took there lively hood.
You need to travel the world and experience other ways of living if you believe government never murders their own citizens and dumps the bodies in acid so the dead person vanishes into thin air. No body, no corpse.
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.
Because the corruption was getting out of hand in the mafia state. See: the state of russian army
Or he's just greedy
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.
