I would explain the reasons of war. Russia invaded Ukraine, because Ukraine after the democratic revolution of 2014 wanted to join NATO, and Russia counts NATO as a millitary threat . For the same reasons Russia have invaded Georgia in 2008. And if we would look at the map, we would see that Russia didn't fully occupied Georgia in 2008 . That means, that Putin's target isn't expansion and conquest. If Putin wanted the conquest and expansion, Georgia was occupied by Russia fully in 2008, but Russia didn't fully occupied the Georgia - only some northern parts. This is the evidence, that Russia isn't targeting expanstion, but Russia is targeting to not allow neighbouring countries to join NATO, because Russia counts NATO as a threat .
The Russian millitary operation in Ukraine is something like the US operations against Iraq - US were concerned of Iraq's nuclear programm, and Russia is concerned of NATO spreading to the East and American nukes in Poland. Also, the reasons of Russian invasion of Ukraine are familliar to reasons of US sanctions against Cuba - Russia is afraid of NATO, and US were afraid of Soviet rockets on Cuba. Russian actions at now a similliar to US and UK actions against Iran - in 1953 Iran's government started to nationalize British-owned oil productions. As an answer UK sponsored the revolutionaries in Iran to overthrew the government and revolution had a success - Western property was denationalized and returned to owners. Iran after the pro-Western revolution was a Western sphere of influence. But later, in 1979 the religious revolution had happened in Iran, and new Iranian government started anti-Western politics, like natinalization of oil productions. United States started to sanctione and seriously isolate Iran for no reason, and at now isolated Iran is a very poor country. But what Iran did against the US? Just what? Iran after the 1953 was Western oil colony, and after 1979 Iran nationalized its oil productions, and US are sanctioning Iran because they want to supress it. And America is dreaming about the return of Iran into their sphere of influence, like Russia (Putin) is dreaming about the return of Ukraine.
And this is hypocritical for US to blame and call Russia as an agressor, because America is doing the same things as Russia. Russia is agressor, and peaceful countries deserved the right to blame Russia. But not America, because America invaded Iraq and isolated Cuba and Iran for the same reasons, for which Russia invaded Ukraine. And this is very hypocritical, that America didn't faced the sanctions and isolation, while Russia faced sanctions and isolation for war. Double standarts and hypocrisy.
