A marxist understanding of imperialism is different from just land grabbing or being agressively beligerant. If you want to understand it id suggest Lenin's book "Imperialism", as i said in another comment

So we're just redefining words so that Russia invading Ukraine to seize territory is neither their fault, nor imperialism.

And while various states in caucuses have sought their independence from Russia, and been met with invading Russian armies and carpet bombing, that also is not imperialism.

Wait, I almost forgot, we're redefining words to mean something else, so I guess it all makes sense.
