Why Did Russia Annex Crimea in 2014?

In 2014, Russian soldiers sporting unmarked uniforms infiltrated Crimea whilst the chaos of the Euromaidan led to the ousting of then-President Viktor Yanukovych. With this, eight years of brutal hybrid warfare would occur between Russian proxies and the Ukrainian Army before Russia's all-out invasion in 2022, but why? What drove Russia's decision to annex Crimea and why in 2014? It may seem simple: to fulfil Putin's own territorial desire, to strengthen Russian prestige, yet the true motivations run far deeper: Russia's geographic vulnerabilities, desires to recreate a Greater Russian state and fears of Western encirclement are just some of the factors, as this video details.
