- neop1x 5y agoMaybe he fears that Ukraine would join EU, NATO and people there would live happier life than people in Russia. And maybe their russian state propaganda is not working as well as they would like in today's interconnected global world. Maybe he is sad that he is getting old. Only he really knows. But IMO he will lose more than gain from this invasion.
