“The Ukraine crisis is not a territorial conflict, and I want to make that clear. Russia is the world’s largest country in terms of land area, and we have no interest in conquering additional territory,” Putin said, speaking at the Valdai Forum in Sochi on Thursday.

......

Russia “still has much to do to properly develop Siberia, Eastern Siberia, and the Russian Far East.”

The president reiterated that Russia was not “attempting to establish regional geopolitical balance.”

Instead, Putin said the issue was "about the principles underlying the new international order.”

This denial of these principles, one of them being “a balance in the world where no one can unilaterally force or compel others to live or behave as a hegemon pleases” is what causes conflicts, Putin said, seemingly referring to the West.

While Russia invasion of Ukraine is a hotly disputed issue, their actions pale in comparison to what US did after WW2. They act like world gangster, instigate wars. Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc. They find "reason" to invade saying is to liberate the ppl there. They go in thrash up the place pat pat backside sayonara.

Iraq a case they say got nuclear. Go in cannot find keep quiet then hang Saddam. Syria etc etc. Afghanistan etc etc. Since when is US a peace loving country? They are a war nation that like wars so they can get their kicks and boost their economy? Kena 911 cry river of tears. Have they thought how much more tears are flowing back in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc when US muscle in and leave a trail of destruction after they leave?
