But with your logic we should also ask: Why did they want Crimea so badly? Russians had easy access to it before, and they suffered lots of sanctions in exchange for little value. The whole affair had some "we take it because we can" energy, it was a show of strength that was popular domestically.
The ''best'' reason I did heard was a possible wish to get a buffer zone betweem them and NATO and better acces to the black sea.
