Russia felt threatened and they responded.

Good grief this is naive.
That’s how the world worked prior to the early 20th century. Great powers and spheres of influence. Post WW2 there is a rules-based world order which the United Nations Security Council is meant to enforce. You know, the UNSC that Russia is a permanent member of?
‘They live a different way’ excuses a whole lot of bad behaviour within one’s borders, but territorial conquest of one state by another is absolutely forbidden by the rules of the organisation Russia is meant to be a principal member of. They can’t have their cake and eat it, and nor should they be allowed to.
