Yanukovych never even declined the deal. He asked to negotiate and wanted to know why he couldn't have a deal with Russia at the same time (this was obviously out of the question so he seemed to be naive). He didn't realize they were making him an offer he couldn't refuse. He is lucky to be alive

Yes, very naive. Maybe even the bear was too back then and learned from it, as he doesn't seem intent on allowing the same fate for Belarus, despite the ranger's best efforts.
Paul Craig Roberts accused Putin of that. Pepe Escobar, Andrei Martyanov, and Andrei Raevsky (Saker) say Putin wants to keep giving them rope and draw it out. The US and Europe are weakening so time is on his side, he might as well just let them flounder. Ukraine was a mess but so was Syria. He waited until Lukashenko had one option (lol). Moved fast into Kazakhstan and has to deal with the blockade of Transnistria. They seem to know everything the US is trying to do in advance.
