I think he was hoping to avoid this war. It was an option, obviously, but not a preferred one. https://www-bazonline-ch.translate.goog/abschreckende-kriegs...

He could have and can still stop the invasion at any time. Don't paint him as having to do something "inevitable."

This link reads to me like Putin propaganda justifying an unprovoked invasion by claiming Russia as the supposed victim of western aggression.
