Wendover Productions "Why Russia Is Invading Ukraine" on YouTube provides some good info. Some reasons include: - They need to secure energy sources (natural gas) to ensure a future for their economy. Ukraine was threatening this business by beginning to get funding from Western companies to develop their natural gas industry - Geographically, losing Ukraine to NATO/the West would result in compromised defensive lines - Putin wants to reestablish the former united Soviet Union
