Why Did So Many Russians Believe That This Wouldn't Happen?

Ucranians have been through so much already that i think they've become a little bit kind of inured to a constant sense of danger. A lot of people believed that, you know, he might do some sibr attacks, meddle re ignite the conflict in dunbas and so on and so forth. The thought of him invading kiev, up until he did, it, seemed unimaginable to most people. Its also something that, i think, we were both really asking ourselves, how could we have misjudged this? Were we? Howre lulled int to this sense that this was impossible?
