Ukraine whenever he wanted once trump followed up on his promise to pull out of NATO. When trump lost and could no longer pull out of NATO, Putin probably realized he had blown his opportunity to take Ukraine during trump's time in the WH.

He probably started planning this invasion soon after trump lost. Massing troops and equipment from across Russia's 11 time zones took months of logistics prep.

It's also rumored that Putin is sick and doesnt have much time in his quest to re-form the Soviet Union or Russian Empire, whichever it is, so he had to attempt to take Ukraine now. He will regret it as the invasion has strengthened NATO and the Ukrainians are offering more resistance than Putin thought they'd be able to.

It would be nice if the west pours in more arms, anti-tank and anti-aircraft, into the country as we can't dispatch troops as Ukraine has not yet been able to join NATO, which Putin is definitely afraid of.
