@ArynChris In fact the whole verb is incorrect, because Russia never invaded Ukraine as Ukraine never existed as an independent state before 1991. Russia merely "possessed" parts of the Ukrainian region for a few centuries after taking some from Poland-Lithuania, other from the Crimean Khanate and a few by peacefully integrating Zaporogue Cossacks.
As for the current invasion… I would find pretty scary that Russia could invade a country without giving any evidence of its presence despite american satellites scanning the region. So I prefer to believe there is none. Call me in denial.
