Protecting every inch of their 10 gazillion miles of land border, almost all of it in flat terrain without natural obstacles, from any kind of hostile incursions... that's just not a realistic standard. The true question is if Russia can quickly push those incursions back, and if they are able to inflict serious damage in the meantime or not. So far, I haven't seen anything to suggest that these incursions are a genuine problem for Russia. Yes, it's a bad look, and the residents of the Russian border towns probably aren't too happy about it, but it won't accomplish anything in the grander scheme of things.

I explained to you the historical context, you can read up on your own at length. Honestly, if you can't follow these simple things, I can't really help you mate.

I'm fully aware of the historical ties, no need to patronise. I'm asking you to explain how that is a credible justification to invade Ukraine?
For the third time now I've asked but you've completely ignored it and chosen to attack me instead for creating a discussion.

I've given my position in depth as to why the historical similarities of Ukrainians and Russians was a factor in Putins decision to invade, and to prevent Ukraine moving in a westward trajectory.

Your use of the word kindship is extremely out place, as if murdering half a million Ukrainians and annexing 19% of their country is somehow an act of kinship.
Unless that is you can better explain in what way you mean kinship was a factor?
Thats the fourth time of asking.

They directly involved in military training for children.
The Kremlin plans to replace international Red Cross with a puppet organization.

children’s camp in Crimea that has been hit with sanctions by western countries for its involvement in the “patriotic re-education” of abducted Ukrainian children. The US state department has claimed that some children sent there are “prevented from returning to their families”.

Last year the IFRC suspended the Belarus Red Cross after its president, Dzmitry Shautsou, boasted that the organisation had helped to deport Ukrainian children to Belaru

Imagine being asked to clarify a position on a political and religious discussion board, and then trolling the person that asked you.

Thats a position of weakness.
