Understanding it is easy. A war-mongering murderous autocrat decided he can take Ukraine and so he did. Don't fall for the Russian divide and conquer strategy and look for imaginary complexity when the reasons are simple. Putin has stolen what he can from the Russian people and now he tries to steal what he can from Ukraine just as Hitler and Stalin did before him. And every Russian that is not on the streets protesting this war, either out of cowardice or because they support it (and don't be fooled, a lot of them do) is guilty of waging an expansionist, criminal war.
