Russia is the single more corrupt country than Ukraine.
Can we invade now?

Putin effectively has eliminated all opposition not by banning, but by assassination and show trials.

Again: Be carefull with intoxication (or misleading arguments or information)
Ukraine wasn’t corrupt at all. Russia tried to subvert it internally with Viktor Yanukovych who was the Pro-Russian President of Ukraine before Petro Poroshenko (The predecessor of Vlodimyr Zelensky). They wanted to turn it into a Belarussian-like puppet-state. When it failed they declared war.
Reason: If a successful democratic state is allowed to exist in close countries like Belarus or Russia, this will most probably spread to Russia and disrupt the power of the Russian Mafia and of the Russian Oligarch (and of the Putin Regime too). So they cannot allow this to happen their “zone of influence” must be dictatorships or fake democracies in which all dissidents are eliminated. Ukraine did not fall into this category so they became “Nazis”.
