I don't think that Russia invading Ukraine was in the air, Russian people were requiring it, it made any geopolitical sense etc. I think it happened because of Putin. But this is just an uneducated guess, I am not really involved in the topic.

The subject of the genocide of Russian-speaking Ukrainians is not one that most Westerners are prepared to confront. Well, we hardly are willing to discuss our own participation in genocide (Yemen), so that's hardly surprising.
But rest assured, Russians have been concerned about it for years. It is a thing for them. They know what our armed forces have been doing, even if we don't ..
