Maybe many Ukrainians would feel less 'Russophobia' if their neighbor didn't launch a full on invasion in an effort to take over their entire nation. That kind of thing has a tendency to turn people against you in a hurry. Each country primarily pursues only its geopolitical ambitions, hiding behind concern for its inhabitants. Ukraine's primary concern was to get away from Russia and its influence as quickly and as far away as possible and they aren't the only nation who's doing so. Perhaps if Russia treated its neighbors much better they wouldn't feel the need to run away from them the first chance they got. Heck if Russia treated the nations under their influence much better the USSR probably would still be alive today. The EU and NATO certainly aren't perfect organizations, but they work well enough that many nations want to eagerly join them rather than stay away from them. Both sides pursued a policy of escalating the conflict. Only the Russians escalated things towards war and then they went and crossed that line and actually launched an invasion. NO ONE pushed the Russians to take that drastic measure. Even when there was a threat of war, almost no one would've imagined that they would go all in and take the entirety of Ukraine rather than simply claiming the entirety of the Donbas. If the Russians had limited their invasion to just that objective they may well have gotten away with it the same as they got away with claiming Crimea. Instead they got overconfident and greedy and now the world has to suffer because of it.
