Was the war in Ukraine, provoked or unprovoked ?

My take on it is this:

Russia invaded a sovereign nation for the purposes of land acquisition at an incredible human cost. No matter what happened to lead to this, Russia are the hostile actors here. Putin is a bad guy.

NATO powers have been bringing Ukraine into their political orbit for the past 20 years or so, successfully. The military response from Russia was likely not only expected, but even desired.
