No. It is absolutely defensive war for Russian Federation and Russian people. De facto, it is quite usual European Drung nach Osten, which they do at least twice a century (like with Hitler, Napoleon, Charles XII, Sigismund II and many other). De jury Ukraine attacked DPR and LPR, legally recognised by Russian Federation and which them Russia had a treaty of mutual defence.You do realize that in the current conflict Russia is the invader and Ukraine is the victim?
Or, Russia is playing role of the USA in Texas, who defended English-speaking colonists in this Mexican territory. Or, Russia played a role of Sparta and Athens, defending Greek-speaking people in Persia.In other words, Russia today is playing the role of Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and invading sovereign states that border it to “protect” its ethnic minorities in them
Self-defense is one of the oldest and strongest motivations, and the signal "we are under attack" is much older than humanity.
We are human beings. When we hungry - we eat. When we thirsty - we drink. When we are attacked - we fight.
