As I see it from the perspective of someone born and raised in Ukraine, who has studied history and language and actually love my country:

These people, despite having vast lands, always seemed to want more and spent their efforts and resources on conquering and destroying neighboring countries instead of investing in their own nation.

Now, Russians who don't live in Moscow are suffering from poverty, and some don't even have gas in their homes. And the roads... have you seen their roads? Why do they spend money on missiles to harm us instead of building their own country?

And look, it has always been this way. Even the Cossacks didn't like the Muscovites. And Shevchenko wrote in his poems, "Don't fall in love with the Muscovites," because they always acted like pigs.

So, it's not a proxy war; it's about too much power in the hands of a small, resentful individual.
