I dont know 100% about this situation. But Russia caused much suffering. I hope things will get better there soon.
You are right about sufferings. Russian can't accept that we are a different country
I like Putin and Russia, But when it comes to Ukraine's sovereignty I have to respect their sovereignty too. Because tomorrow some other big country can do the same to another small neighbor country justifying their invasion. I think all these happened due to western factor. Then Ukraine became victim between 2 super powers. This is a pathetic situation. I heard so many people already have died from the war. And we can remember mistakenly one group attacked the Malaysian passenger airplane with a rocket. Tragedy continued..horrible.
