Yeah I highly doubt he had/has and motivations beyond Ukraine. Like the Maiden Coup in '14 and their hard on for joining NATO is what started this whole mess, even alot of the intelligence community and leaked diplomatic cables over the years have admitted this.

Iirc Russia only hit Georgia because they struck first. From what I remember the Georgian government eventually admitted this and it was something along the lines they were hoping the west would intervene. Of course the world wasn't ready to go to war over Georgia so they got steamrolled by the Russkies at the time.
