Nope, I haven’t seen your post. In fact it is all looks a bit confusing. If there is really a heavy military presense in Ukraine where are more evidence to it? I was almost convinced the day they shown a dozen captured kids who later said they have lost their way which may be true or more like a bullcrap but it is still a single incident and it was somehow explained so it is still might be true.
If indeed there is a full-scale invasion there are might be more evidence and Ukrainians aren’t helping themselves with ridiculous propaganda, like camouflaged T-64 tanks claimed to Russian T-72s, their denial of shelling of residential areas by government forces, stories of 1000s Russian regular casualties etc. I’m yet to see a single piece of equipment unique to the Russian forces there. I haven’t so far. It is not that Russian media and government are 100% credible, but Ukrainian side is a blatant liar which is 100% non-credible. So does Russian liberal NGOs supporting their version.
invasion doesn’t compute in my head on Que Bono basis too.
Is it worth attacking Ukraine militarily and become an object of criticism when it is about to fold under a weight of its own corruption? It might please some nationalist or communist leaning idiots domestically but does it worth it?
And for Ukraine playing a victim of aggression is all about to attract foreign aid and distract population from a failed economy. It is more interested in war than Russia.
It is just a thoughts. I might be wrong of course.

That's what you get for reading Russia Today, and parroting what you read here. Incidentally, that "camo" T-62? It may have looked different to you because it was a Russian T-72BM, not exported or otherwise available to the Ukrainians.

You are of course wrong. Some wonderful blinders you have on, though. Do you get them from RT wholesale? An example just from today of the dozens of articles detailing Russia’s direct invasion of Ukraine is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3206301/posts
