"...Russia has zero interest in invading Europe..."

Is Crimea part of Europe?

Because I'm pretty sure the Russians invaded it.

That's debatable and often is. Russia will never return Crimea as Crimea was never a part of Ukraine except for bureaucratic reasons. But Crimea did got lucky...afterKiev refused investment over the past 20 years, its infrastructure was dilapidated. Now Russia’s rebuilding Crimea.

Is Russia part of Europe? If so then yes, because Crimea is part of Russia :)

In all seriousness, if that was an invasion, it was the most welcome, noncontested invasion in history. They basically threw a gigantic party...
