From what I know about materialism yeah basically you're on to something here.
An idealist lens on the conflict would be that Putin is doing this because he's evil. That's an idealistic belief (that people are just evil and that's why they do things) in contrast to the materialist one where Putin is doing this because he is a product of the conditions of the world and world history.
that's kind of funny. a lot of people accuse us of being idealists. "yeah in a perfect world where people weren't evil, communism would work, but instead gorillions have died." and they are really just completely mistaking the fact that our perspective is that of logic, in that, there are these resources, there is labor to make things happen in society, and the idea of ownership is basically an idealistic (that is, a completely ego driven concept, devoid of material reality) position, which is keeping us in a position where our own materialistic (as in resources, health insurance, a living wage) conditions - are not being met.
