if dig back in history, Ukraine was once under Soviet rule. Putin sees it as "take-back what was rightfully his" and he dont see it as an invasion. Parallel to... if China's troops enter HongKong/Taiwan, is it invasion? or simply PRC military exercise in own territories?
some of what they said is not wrong, like ukraine is big, not possible to conquer etc. but if war does not end as soon as expected, putin might feel malu and commit more forces than originally planned... and with air power even western ukraine is not safe either
