Putin and the Oligarchs wanted to keep Ukraine from tapping into its oil, which would have disrupted Russia's economic dependency on the stuff.
Yes. This is also part of the reason they took over Crimea; there's rarely just *one* reason that invasions like this take place but people should always take resources into account because they almost always play a huge factor. They are after the fossil fuel and mineral resources in Ukraine. You don't throw away massive amounts of military resources like this if there isn't a financial payoff at the end, and creeps in the class that Putin and Co belong to will never be satisfied. They want to seize resources and then pontificate about how awesome they are *glances at Russian news article*.

No, it was always very clear they wanted to rule the country, even the intelligence community said so. Also, wow all those children and pregnant women killed. Top military priorities indeed! And almost half a million civilian Ukrainians abducted and sent to camps in Russia. Nothing to see here.
Also this. Zeus is off his rocker if he actually believes any of the brazen nonsense Russian media has been spewing. Have some respect for yourself, dude, jfc.
