There are no LEGITIMATE reasons short of being overtly threatened.
Russia invaded in 2014 because their stooge got the boot and they saw a chance for a major land grab. They were never threatened.

So every war we've been in since WW2 wasn't justified on our part?

You wouldn't see losing a pro-US Mexican government to a pro-Russia one as a threat? Not to our existence necessarily, but to our interests it absolutely would be.
I just think its a little tone deaf as an American since our policy has been that no other power should interfere in our entire HEMISPHERE at all, but you can't even just kind of a tincy-weency bit understand why Russia wouldn't want a NATO country at its border?
And understanding doesn't equal absolving of blame, or that they shouldn't face consequences, and it certainly isn't blaming Ukraine.
