While I think that is part of the reason Russia invaded Ukraine, Putin seems far more interested in going back to the glory days.
"During the recent Direct Line, when I was asked about Russian-Ukrainian relations, I said that Russians and Ukrainians were one people – a single whole."

From the man himself.
Appreciate the source, but nobody should trust a single word from Mordor. They invaded in an attempt to obtain a number of monetary and geographical perks, not out of brotherly love, as they often try to spin.
I agree?
Putin isn’t the same man he was even a few years ago, but one thing hasn’t changed over the decades — he views Glasnot and the fall of the Soviet Union as the worst thing to ever happen to Russia and a mistake caused by the weakness of those in power.
