>Ukraine was a threat,
In what way was Ukraine a threat? Do you really think they'd have attacked Russia?
>and have been openly hostile since the coup.
Open hostility first came from Russia. What the fuck are you talking about. They didn't do shit to Russia and they wouldn't have done shit. They'd have just let their army decay further had Russia not pulled their dumb stunts.
>Look at where the explosions were registered, and from what directions they came.

Most of it of unclear origin but there's also clearly a lot more outgoing fire from non-government territory. In any case, to even suggest that Russia invaded as a response to these ceasefire violations is naive at best and in actuality you're probably just being dishonest.
