The thing that Russia wanted in the first place was Ukraine to be a neutral land. Russia wanted NATO and the EU to stay out.
The second thing Russia wanted was for the Ukraine to take heed to the UN statement that people of the member states had the right to form their own state if they wanted. The Black Sea Corridor (BSC) people of the areas that Russia is liberating were trying to form states (their own countries), which the UN allows... since Ukraine is a member of the UN.
Russia attacked after Ukraine built up its military and started striking the BSC states militarily. Russia moved to stop them.
Now, in addition to Ukraine breaking UN international law in #2 above, Zelensky, as dictator, is selling off parts of Ukraine to the EU. Since Ukraine already has the war, now the EU is inviting itself into opposition against Russia in a direct way.
It has been said that it is illegal by the Ukraine constitution to rid itself of any of its lands. But here Z is, going against his own constitution - a thing he wouldn't do when his own people wanted to form their own nations - giving his lands away to the EU.
If Russia was trying to act honorably before, the honorable thing to do now is to formally defend herself from the EU militarily. And this military activity should be done against whichever EU countries are taking over Ukraine land.
Of course, Russia should only act in Ukraine until that part of the war is over. Then Russia should review UN law and figure out the best way to correct the EU tasking land of Ukraine problem
Note that various sections of peoples of various NATO and EU countries - especially Britain and Germany - would like to be their own nation. Russia could help them all... little wars and rebellions right inside those countries, all trying to form themselves into their own nation, legitimized by UN law... with Russia supplying the military for all those new little countries.
I wonder how Russia would handle little states of their own people right in Russia. That said, large percentages of many States in the US want to pull out of the United States. If they studied UN law, they could do it legally.
