Prior to these articles you use, Putin had lamented the splitting up of the USSR and the end of the cold war, he believed that the USSR would have 'won' the cold war and believed in Russian superiority as a race. He stated he wanted to reinstate the Russian empire, and to this end he planned the invasion of Crimea. He is a wannabe emperor, so the justifications he uses are exactly that, he wants x so he will use any argument to get it or to justify it including faking attacks (the already disabled man in the fake bombing etc.). He then cries wolf when the other nations defend and blames it all on 'foreign influences' - similar to the Nazis blaming the Jews, ROmanians, and foreign minded people for all their issues pre-ww2.
This justification he used for the invasion and supression of the Georgian peoples;
Using a similar tactic to Crimea:
1. plant agents within a city on the border, bribe officials.
2. claim the whole country wants to rejoin based on these agents stirring up trouble and protests in that city, used corrupted officials to sway things in the direction of Russia.
3. Invade and leave behind FSB agents to quell any citizens protests and further the narrative of a foreign influence leading 'Russians' astray in the country and that the true citizens want to 'reunify'
Added to this is the estimation that Russia is almost out of some of it's most lucrative mined resources, these resources are also found in quantity in the Ukraine etc. This gives a pretty big motive for invasion.
