This is likely the root of it. Russia had what they perceived to be a rational and pressing military need to control Ukraine. Any talk of higher causes is nothing but propaganda. The legitimacy [or lack thereof] of the Ukrainian government was never relevant, one way or the other. Whether or not the present Ukrainian government is a legitimately elected democratic government representing the Ukrainian people, or a puppet government controlled by America makes literally no difference. Russia invaded Ukraine to serve Russian interests, not to liberate Ukraine from a NATO puppet government.
