That's why I said "according to Russia". Zelenskyy signaled that talks were going better. Hopefully a resolution is reached soon.
Russia wants control of the Ukraine's natural gas reserves
I don't doubt that is a motivation, but not the only one.

You seem to be completely ignoring their inbred cultural paranoia of foreign invasion. If you can't understand them, you won't be able to figure out why they're political leaders are heavy-handed blundering clowns. The soviet period intensified it into something they'll never get past. Sure, maybe in another 100 years, if it can happen, it'll take generations.
But honestly, I doubt if that matters. We don't have that long.

Stop.
You should know better than to blindly accept bald statements from any player. Do your own research.
The Ukraine was subjugated after WWII and made a client state to provide the soviet union with a buffer against further aggression from any non-soviet country.
They russians are incapable of anything less than delusional paranoia. It's part of their definition as a culture.
Russia wants control of the Ukraine's natural gas reserves, nothing less.
Avarice is the primary component in this action.
