Keep in mind Ukraine was going to settle this in 2022 by signing and agreement in Istanbul. Boris and the US scuttled it because they wanted this war, a proxy war, with Russia.
McCain, Graham, and other filthy US Senators had been going to Ukraine trying to get this war started for years.
I don’t think Ukraine really wanted this war bit the western countries sure did.
“I don’t think Ukraine really wanted this war bit the western countries sure did.”
I agree that Ukraine didn’t want this war, or they wouldn’t have elected Zelensky, as he campaigned to settle things down.
The West didn’t really want it either, but they CLEARLY wanted control of the Black Sea, particularly the Russian bases there. They thought that their ‘sanctions’ would work as it worked in Serbia...but, unfortunately for them, Russia was ready to fight, while the West was having Drag Queen Parades on NATO bases.
