A buffer against NATO which is proven over and over to be evil. Ukraine given two opportunities to not violate Minsk agreement
Natural resources in E Ukraine
access and control of Black Sea and trading ports
Historical abuse of Russian nationals in E Ukraine
People forget Ukraine, at the direction of NATO, amased huge army on Donbas border beginning of this year after bombing the area for the past 8 years
This ridiculous fantasy of Soviet Russia invading all the way to Ireland is a joke
Ukraine ( NATO) wanted a war a purposefully goaded to Russia into one when the useful idiots distracted by covid and George Floyd
Doing the same with China now via Taiwan

Not picking a side - always said my interest was in how unit v unit fighting was going. Purely tactical - nothing strategic but -
IF Putin is fighting the globohomo in Ukraine and doesn't want it on his doorstep to Russia - how does stopping at Ukraine prevent that? What about the globohomo next door to that? If it's just about bio labs - why wouldn't the NWO open labs in the next country over?
I'm not saying he's rolling into France in 6 months (short of nuclear, I don't think he has the capability. Poland would put up a much more stout fight these days) but I don't think the idea he's there to stop western cultural decay from infecting Russia is 100% right because even if he did wipe Ukraine back to 1700 - the decay wasn't specific and contained in Ukraine - it's in every country on his border. Not just there.
So while I can understand some regional, strategic points for Russia regarding culture - I think there's more there than JUST the culture war.
That's why I don't buy the "it's all about trannys and culture" line. There's other, more natural reasons - deep water ports, grain, buffers (sorta buy that one) etc.
