The Luna 25 spacecraft reported an “emergency situation on board,” Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, said on Saturday.

An incident occurred as the spacecraft was trying to enter a pre-landing orbit, according to Roscosmos.

“During the operation, an emergency situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.

The original 2014 conflict did start because the Russian speaking population panicked when the pro west and Ukrainian nationalists took over in the revolution. There legitimately were Nazis in positions of power then, though as far as I know it was much better by 2022.

Policies like removing russian language rights didn't help either. So while obviously a large part falls on Russia for invading and trying to fulfil their imperialist ambitions Ukraine is not as innocent as it seems either.

Have a look at this to see why russian minorities would be concerned https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language_in_Ukraine#Ukrainization_in_modern_Ukraine

So Russia just had to invade the Crimea to protect people who they consider culturally linked? That's your argument?
