Putin regards the prospect of Ukraine joining the Western military alliance as hostile. In December, Putin sent the U.S. and NATO a list of security demands, among them a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO. These proposals were swiftly rejected by the United States and its allies.
Additionally, Putin rejected the idea of Ukraine existing outside of the Russian state, citing the two countries shared history and culture. Earlier this year, Putin recognized the “independence and sovereignty” of two eastern Ukrainian provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk.
In his essay, Putin said that “Russia created modern Ukraine and it’s due to the Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin.” therefore, this is why does Russia want Ukraine’s invasion. Now the question arises, why does Putin want to invade Ukraine?
