And you have more wisdom than 44 million Ukrainians...
Shhuushhhhh

Most of the videos being shared on social media are fake. Some are even game videos. *It appears though that the President of Ukraine has flee the capital. Kyiv (or kiev) the capital might fall in matter of a days.* You see, Ukraine went too hard trying do dissociate itself from Russia. Aside ethnic Ukrainians there are significant Russia speakers in Ukraine. Ukraine even attempted to stop Russia from being taught in there school, it was before like the second official language. There was starting to be something like segregation of the Russia community and culture cancellation of Russia. This two were too intertwined. They stopped calling the capital by its famous pronunciation, KIEV

I think Ukraine is a sovereign country, are they part of Russia country...so Why would Russia be the one to be controlling their affairs. Just like Cameroonian controlling Nigeria...does it make any sense. They can do whatever they want to make their citizens more protected.

I have been responding to people extensively on this issue.
This your thought, though it seems logical in the world today, but when put under critical light, it is actually short of wisdom and it is what is leading to several conflicts.
The world today preaches absolute right to do whatever. But this isn't realistic. We must consider others in our choices and actions. Their is no absolute or unlimited rights, rights are actually relative and subjective.
To give an analogy: you may buy a strong sound system in a face me I slap u house. It's your right to blare the sound ad much as u can, but this may cause conflicts with your neighbours.
We must consider others. We are a community. Nudist think it's their rights to walk naked, but this might be selfish, as it is that they aren't considering the effects on others. Some people even think it's their right to smoke or do whatever with their bodies, but how about the second hand effects of smoke on others? Have they considered that whatever happens to them affects their friends and family?
Ukraine as rights as a sovereign nation, but they should have really put the concern of Russia into consideration.
Another example, you have an enemy that is obviously threatening to arm you, then your neighbour knowing your relationship with your enemy started bringing in that enemy into your neighbourhood. Wont you feel disturbed? Your neighbour has the right to associate with whoever's, but has he shown love or respect to you?
I hope you perceive the logic in my explanation.
Wisdom has almost gone extinct in the world today. It's a selfish world we are in now, a world that teaches dangerous isolationism.
Another thing that might help in understanding. Just think of how USA would have reacted if Mecico or Canada was behaving like Ukraine has been behaving? Do you know America actually invaded Cuba in the 80s for moving closer to Russia?

it's okay but war is not the answer
