This assertion is simply false. Russia lived with an independent Ukraine for 21 years before it started wars of territorial aggression. The only thing threatened by an independent Ukraine are inflated Russian egos.

That is your subjective opinion. The encroachment of NATO attempting to push right up to the Russian border is what started this existential threat to Russia. Especially when our American politicians made it clear they were a threat. You have seen the evidence multiple times but refuse to consider it because of your bias and hatred of all things Russian.
Why don't you allow Russia to determine what they feel is a threat?
When I was a kid and my brother started building a fallout shelter, we sure felt that Russian missiles in Cuba was a threat. They were 90 miles away from us. I cannot imagine what a threat is it to Russia to think that NATO could be right on their border. You warmongers are insane.
