Putin tried everything he could think of to prevent this conflict. Ultimately he was left with no other way to protect Russia.
B.S.!
He didn't consider NOT INVADING, and only considered taking over Ukraine, just like he too over Crimea and Georgia before that.
Putin himself has said that the biggest mistake of the last century was the break up of the Soviet Union, so, his goal has been to reconstitute the old USSR, and that's what he's up to.
