Putin is not Hitler
Putin is only interested in eastern Ukraine as a buffer zone.
He wants Ukraine to be neutral, no NATO or EU membership
No, that's bullshit. He wants to restore Empire. They have officially annexed de iure from their perspective parts of Ukraine already in Russia, including ones they haven't even conquered.
If you listen to their TV shows, they are openly speaking that just existence of Ukraine as a country threatens Russia and that Poland and Baltics should be conquered next. And you can't speak at mainstream TV channels in Russia a messages that haven't been approved by Kremlin.

Putin doesn’t care about Baltic states or Poland. Ukraine is a different story because of its proximity and history

He definitely cares about every inch of territory that was part of Soviet Union.
