The people of Ukraine were asked their opinions on their relationship to Russia in 1991 with a full national referendum. 85% of Ukrainian people turned out to vote and 92% of those voted for the Ukraine to become an independent state, seperate from Russia.

So again, what do you think is Russia's motive for invading Ukraine? I can't believe that to have such strong opinions that we in the west are all communally and unquestionably following anti-Russian propaganda, but can't have a clear answer and evidence of to explain why Russia are justified in carrying out this invasion?
