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.
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
Ukraine certainly was one of the most corrupt nations in Europe. Pre-pandemic its CPI score was 30, placing it between Bolivia and Myanmar.
Russia scored 28 (ie, worse). So I'm not sure what outcome you expect from Ukraine losing. I'm also interested to hear if you think countries like Mexico, Nigeria or Cambodia, also below Ukraine in the ranking, are "evil" and don't deserve statehood.
