Is there anyone who really thinks that this war is Ukraine VS Russia instead of US/NATO vs Russia? By the way, what they say is very different from what they actually do but too many things don't make sense here without further explanation. Why did US allow Russia to do what it does? First, there was war against Georgia, then Against Crimea (Ukraine) and then again, against the whole Ukraine. They let Russia to collect resources for the war, which is now draining of course but I wonder whether China helps Russia or not. Russians are also different breed. While Europeans don't want to come out of comfort zone and love their stable salary and good healthcare, Russians don't care much about that, they are willing to eat the cheapest thing in order to achieve what they want (this is the conclusion that I made, might be wrong but doesn't apply every Russian).
By the way, I also think that Trump wants to spend less and force Europe to spend more but I think that this is an indicator of the US no longer being capable to be a leader worldwide. If Europe spends more in military and gets stronger, it won't be the best thing that USA wants.
Firstly, this is not a war between Ukraine and Russia, but between Russia and Ukraine, since it was Russia that attacked Ukraine, and not vice versa.
Secondly, during the 11 years of military actions between these states, no regular military units of NATO member states have been deployed on the territory of Ukraine. If NATO troops had fought on the side of Ukraine, this war would have ended with Russia's defeat long ago. Ukraine receives various types of assistance in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity from many states, including NATO members, but this assistance, especially weapons and military equipment, is very weak and does not allow Ukraine to achieve a relatively quick victory over the aggressor that attacked it.
And now an interesting question - who is Ukraine fighting with now? Because Russia does not have enough strength to seize the relatively small Ukraine, it uses elite units of the North Korean troops on the battlefield against Ukraine, as well as armored vehicles, air defense systems and millions of shells from North Korea. Therefore, in fact, there is a war between Russia and North Korea against Ukraine.
