I'm afraid that might be one of the main reasons they invaded - they just can't see democracies flourish right next to them, especially when they were on the same page not long ago.
Ex soviet countries doing well most probably is bigger threat to Putin's regime than anything else.
I'm afraid they dragged Ukraine back to dirt eradicating decades of development and economic growth but I hope I'm wrong.
I'm also afraid they won't leave it alone - they'll keep on poking it or destabilise it by creating some internal conflicts amongst folk to point them away from the EU and western values.
That's what they've been doing quite successfully in Lithuania - there's been a movement to protest against pretty much anything but the people are always the same and the point is always that the west and their values are rotten, we need to exit eu and so on and so on.
