Just as an armchair observer, I reckon Ukraine is just a piece on the chess board. Since 1999 (just a little over 20 years), 14 countries have joined NATO, it has moved eastwards towards the Russian border. Ukraine is a big chunk right at their door step. A Russian friendly democratically elected leader of Ukraine was overthrown in a coup in 2014. Look at the bigger picture.
You can see why the Russian regime had a bit of sphincter twitching. That's all I'm saying.
