That makes sense. TBF, I thought Russia did this last invasion much sooner than the contract (2019) for some reason:

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and began occupying more of the country, starting the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II. The war has resulted in a refugee crisis and tens of thousands of deaths. Source

You're probably thinking of the Crimea annexation in 2014, which was more or less the first wave of the ongoing efforts by Russia, though the history between the two countries goes way back.
