This has been my understanding of the conflict. Ukraine has been steadily and openly moving toward greater integration with Europe / The West, and therefore away from Russia's control.

Trying to understand "Why is Russia doing this?" , the initial invasion, destruction of power infrastructure, dams, occupation of power plant, mining farmlamd, destroying schools and malls, every time the answer is simply: If we can't have it, no one can.
