Are you familiar with 2014? That's when the war started. The west backed a coup and violentky removed the democratically elected president of Ukraine who happened to be friendly with Russia, and put their own pro west guy in. Then Nato begins building up their military with nuclear capability 30 miles from Moscow. The Russian border is now surrounded by foreign military bases.
To make a comparison since you still don't get it.
Imagine Texas seceded from the United States like they have been talking about for decades. Naturally they would elect a president. Now imagine Russia uses their influence to orchestrate a coup and removes that president, and pushes a Russian friendly president in. Then Russia brings in their military equipment with nuclear capability and lines all their military equipment across the texas/American border. Would that be acceptable to the United States?
Of course.
Once you give a country democratic freedom, they are no longer yours to govern.
What a silly question!
