The only reason Russia went into Ukraine was because Zelensky decided to cut off water and electricity to the southern portion of Ukraine, the area that was mostly inhabited by Ethnic Russians. Those people were pleading with Zelensky and with the EU to do something. Russia ended up having to go in on a humanitarian mission, then got attacked by Ukrainians military and mercenary groups. After a few months Zelensky was going to sit down with Russa and find a truce, but then Boris Johnson at the behest of NATO and the EU told Zelensky not to meet with Putin, and from there the war has been going on as is.
At this point Zelensky only wants unconditional victory and is unwilling to settle for peace with Russia, which makes ending this war impossible. Russian just wants their deal of having a Black Sea port, and equal rights for Ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
Countering against all this is the fact that NATO as a whole, exclusion of the US, needs Russia as an aggressor to stay relevant, and the EU needs Ukrainian money to continue grifting the US since the US pulled out of the Paris Climate Scam.
Imagine if McCain, Graham, and Biden's groups didn't involve themselves in Ukraine back in '14, there would be no war.
Lol yeah, it was totally provoked. Every time the legacy media say "Russia's unprovoked aggression" it's like, cringe. Sure boys. Though at this point I think Russia is like "fuck it let's take Odesa too", haha. Can't say I blame them.
