Putin attacked Ukraine because the Ukrainian residents do not vote in favour of a Russian ‘puppet’ leader in charge of Ukraine.
Putin wants to reinstate the the old USSR and an easy way to do that is to have the leader of those USSR countries such as Ukraine showing favour to ‘Mother Russia’.
Over ten years ago there was the Orange ‘revolution’ in Ukraine when the Ukrainians voted in favour of a leader who would not roll over and lie down to Mother Russia,
Putin was furious and the gas supplies to Ukraine from Russia were cut off.
