The Russians attacked Ukraine because they hate the Ukrainians and want to destroy them. Don't look for any NATO or other nonsense in this.
Russia hates Ukraine but it fears NATO
reply
Were the Russians afraid of Nato when they razed Chechnya to the ground? Or when they took a few percent of the land of Georgia? No NATO is to blame. Moskoviti (the old name of the Russians) are imperialists who plunder Ukrainian territories at least once every century.
reply
Ukraine is different from Georgia and Chechnya
It’s a large country that borders Russia
It’s also a terrible idea for NATO to expand membership to Ukraine, a poor corrupt country
Zelensky is open to a ceasefire.
Edit:
Hate alone isn’t the reason for invading or going to war. Fear , honor or interest

I never said evil NATO.
NATO is being geopolitically reckless and naive.
Russia's imperialist nature is not relevant. Putin is not Peter the Great or Stalin.

Putin is not Peter the Great or Stalin.
Yes, he is more like Nicholas I, who made imperial wars to conquer new territories (Russo-Persian War, Russo-Turkish War, crushed Polish uprising) until he lost Crimean War.
