Literally days before Putin began his military operation in Ukraine, Ukraine had started a renewed assault on the Donbass region, which appears to be what triggered Putin in starting his military operation.
I know what you think about it. However, Ukraine was looking toward the west and the EU. They were in a position to perhaps become a world economic power. They were looking to the future. They invested in weapons. Putin proved why that was a needed idea.
A legitimate elected Ukrainian President fled the country due to a highly organized group of far right groups during Euromaidan. Here's an article that gets into some of the darkest moments of that event:

After Euromaidan, a lot of that same group came to form the new government. One of their first acts was to try to ban the use of Russian in government funded instiutions and schools, despite the fact that a significant amount of the eastern Ukrainian population's first language was Russian. They also instigated the Odessa massacre, which Evgeny Norin, a Russian historian focused on Russia's wars and international politics argues was a turning point for Ukraine:

Finally, the Ukrainian far right, in conjunction with the U.S., sabotaged the efforts that had been made to try to find a peaceful solution to the civil war:

Not only that, but mere days before Putin decided to start his military operation in Ukraine, the Ukrainian government decided to start a renewed assault on the Donbass republics, something that former Swiss Intelligence Officer Jacques Baud covers in an article that I believe is quite revealing. I made a thread about his article here:
