What you've listed here is not what russia lists as a reason for attacking Ukraine. And even if it was, it's still really shitty pretext.

Yes, these are very much among Russia's pretexts.

There were others as well. Most have at least some basis as well. For example:

And yes, it is still a really shitty set of pretexts.

Where are you from?

You see, I've been in Ukraine in 2014, and I've been observing everything from the front seat, so to say.

Generally what ruskies say does not matter. Not a single word.

But specifically, the pretexts they may be stating now (I don't follow what they say), may be different from what they stated in 2014.

It baffles me that after so much bs spewed by russian propaganda, people waste their effort trying to synthesize a coherent story.

The only rock fact: ruskies say whatever gives them tactical advantage at the moment.
