Why didn't Putin do this when Trump was in office? Trump didn't care about Ukraine, he shat on NATO and our Western allies constantly, etc.
Already covered this, which you would have noticed if you had bothered to read.
There was no Ukrainian crisis during Trump's presidency because Trump did not provoke a crisis in Ukraine by telling his Ukrainian proxies to assault Donbass.
It's really quite simple. If Trump were still in office, the frozen conflict in Ukraine would have remained on the backburner.
