Unfortunately MeganC, you are parroting a leftist talking point. It would seem that you have no actual concept of what the current “conflict” is actually about.
I will give you a clue... Ukraine has evolved into one of the most corrupt regimes in the world. This is partially because of the Bidens’ previous association with them, but they were just more opportunists. Despite abundant natural resources Ukraine per capita is the poorest country in the region. The people have been fleeced by a series of corrupt characters since the Soviet Union fell, most of these have been empowered by Soros and Western Intelligence agencies.
The Russians are no angels by anyone's’ measure but they react in a fairly predictable way when provoked. This conflict was by design; it was ill conceived and will continue indefinitely as long as the money train in and out is allowed to continue. Everyone closely associated with Zelinsky are opportunistic criminals.
Russia started the war and now they’re losing.
Ukrainian forces have already crossed to the east bank of the Dnipro River and Russian forces are retreating ahead of them.
The Russians have already prepared to defend Crimea which makes clear their inability to stop Ukraine at the Dnipro.
