2nd or 3rd look like the more likely options. i'd take the 5th option in a second.

It really bugs the crap out of me when Ukrainians are getting the crap bombed out of them and nations are running their own bleeding heart think pieces of how this is such a mental tragedy for people comfortable in their heated homes. Like "How dare Putin and Ukraine do this to disturb my sleep and mental health."
Apologies to all my Desi brothers, but is this not entirely unexpected for the kind of crap journalism that often happens in India these days?
I swear I thought I was looking at a video of Santa Claus flying in the air with his glowing reindeer leading the way.
What a toddler. I mean, all Putin needs is to point to American officials calling for his murder as evidence to his Russians that this is not about Ukraine but about the US trying to attack the country's sovereignty.
And doubly an idiot for publicly advocating criminal activity. I'm sure he'd love for Russians to tweet for his "removal" from office.
Another demonstration of how the stalker ex-boyfriend model applies to Russia and China.
Btw, a nice intro on the possible mechanics behind an isolated Putin's actions, based on a reading Francis Fukuyama's The End of History...

Yep, literally firing on the reactors.

I love how most of the "enemies" are just countries that were controlled by Russia for decades/centuries, got away from them and don't want it to happen again .

That's really reductive though. Racists are everywhere. They're always going to have their opinions, but that doesn't mean they're the only perspective. Focusing on just the opinions of the racists is like focusing on just the opinions of the Chinese or the Chechens. You get what you sample.
Because this isn't about some forced appeal for sympathy as the narrator suggests. There's even a double standard within Ukraine itself if you take it that far: nobody reacted anything like this when the very same country had Crimea annexed by Russia in 2014. That wasn't because of racism, anti-Arab sentiment, etc. So what's different now?
It's because of the risk involved in stepping in for portions of Georgia vs Crimea ... vs the entire nation of Ukraine, which was a country with nukes until the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. But it's not even a question of Ukraine. Even Putin said it himself before the invasion: this is about an individual wanting to militarily force his will to refashion the lives of an entire continent and even world.
That's what makes this different. Sadly, people are investing in lame narratives like this who think they are being questioning geniuses when instead they are just displaying their localized ignorance of the bigger puzzle.
