"...
So Russia invades, kills, rapes and steals the assets
..."
Russia invaded Ukraine over fears of NATO expansion. Becoming a part of NATO is a part of the Ukrainian constitution.
Russia has been trying to find a diplomatic solution to NATO expanding closer to its borders for decades. But they were ignored at all levels, and NATO ploughed on with their movement of it's military infrastructure closer to Russian borders.
This war would not have happened, if the Ukrainian government stuck to the Minsk agreements.
This war could have finished back in March/April 2022, if the Ukrainian government agreed to neutrality during the Ukraine-Russia negotiations that took place at that time. Those particular negotiations were sabotaged by US/UK/NATO, that told Ukraine not to sign the agreement (as per Davyd Arakhamia, a highl-level Ukrainian politician that took part in those negotiations).
So really, the Ukrainian government only has itself to blame for what's happening to Ukraine.
