Who are "we" in your statements? And can you elaborate on which other country you mean, and what their needs are? Because it doesn't seem like Russia needed to invade a Ukraine that it already had very close political & economic ties to. When Ukraine decided it wanted a leader who would also be friendly to the West Russia couldn't handle it. They viewed expanding economic interests as a threat, and rather than try to win out on diplomacy and friendly trade deals or any other economic approach they chose war. So please, get away from your vague statements of "we" & "needs" and be specific. Otherwise it sounds like you're reading from a script of talking points without any deeper justification on your difference of opinion.
