All you need to know is that Ukraine is 90% Russian slavs. It was always part of Russia and the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union collapsed, part of the deal with NATO was to allow Ukraine to break off to be it's own country. Since then, Ukraine had at least leased the use of navy ports that were utterly vital for the Russian navy Russia always needs another warm water port. Crimea, a location inside of Ukraine has been in Russian literature as kind of a vacation spot for hundreds of years.

The Ukrainian revolution happened and it accelerated act of Ukraine joining the EU. If this were to happen, Russia might lose access to those ports. The eastern areas of Ukraine are like 100% Russian. They identify as Russian. They probably more likely identify as Soviet. They rose up in combat against the Ukrainian army.

Putin has interests in the ports, but he also has a responsibility to help ethnic Russians in old Soviet states that he sees as corrupt or failing. Putin has ambitions to also reunite the Russian empire, which would include all of Ukraine.
