The bloodiest dispute in Europe considering that World War II moves into its 3rd year.
The expense of the Russia-Ukraine war is currently massive: 10s of countless soldiers eliminated on both sides; countless civilians dead; and countless Ukrainians required from their bombed-out towns and cities.
There is little indication of an end in sight.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stays bold– stating there will be no peace till his nation’s objectives are satisfied. Ukraine is once again appealing for more contributions to change decreasing products of ammo.
The European Union accepted a brand-new plan worth $54bn previously this month. The United States Congress can not concur upon their assistance plan.
It is election year in the United States and Republicans are arguing over whether to extend the military lifeline to Ukraine– a hold-up that might put more pressure on NATO.
Is the Russia-Ukraine war one that can be won? Who is benefiting? And where might Putin set his sights next?
