Politics are complicated, especially in post-Soviet bloc countries e.g. the lingering effects of Russification. But anytime a ruling party is looking to dissolve all opposition parties, and label them as criminals, it’s because they feel threatened in some way.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. That success likely had a role in why they continued with Ukraine in 2014.
That was then, this is now. Russia doesn’t control it yet, but this is the step to that.
