Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has attracted an incredible amount of propaganda and fake news stories.
The people who are suffering are the Ukrainians who have been displaced, killed and captured. No-one disagrees with that.
But so many people are suggesting that their is an endgame that is involves Russian sanctions and isolation.
The cost of the war in Ukraine
Whilst Ukraine will be left in ruins and in need of a rebuild. The unfortunate cost of the war will leave the country with debt for the arms that have been supplied by the United States and being used as a proxy for the US.
Russia has a perspective which is monitored and blocked by major search engines.
Ukraine and specifically the President Zelensky is on a PR war. Rallying as many world leaders to join to condemn the Russian invasion.
Will Ukraine join NATO?
The questions everyone is still asking is Will Ukraine be able to join NATO and the EU.
And if that happens will Russia take this war to the next level.

Zelensky: Russia taking advantage of slow arms delivery
Zelensky: Russia taking advantage of slow arms delivery
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has voiced concerns over Russia’s exploitation of the delayed delivery of Western weaponry to escalate their offensive. These remarks follow the approval of a $61 billion predominantly military aid package for Ukraine by the US.
Zelensky said aid has started to arrive but has called for it to be delivered faster. His sentiments were echoed by NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, who said “It’s not too late for Ukraine to prevail”.
This discussion arises amidst reports from authorities in Odesa, a Black Sea port, confirming casualties and injuries resulting from a Russian missile strike. Odesa’s regional leader, Oleh Kiper, said that the attack claimed the lives of three women and one man, with casualties including a four-year-old, a 16-year-old, and a pregnant woman. Significant damage to civilian residences and infrastructure was reported.
“The Russian army is now trying to take advantage of a situation when we are waiting for supplies from our partners”
Earlier on Monday, Russia announced the capture of a second village within two days as part of its ongoing offensive in eastern Ukraine.
At a joint press conference in Kyiv, President Zelensky said: “The Russian army is now trying to take advantage of a situation when we are waiting for supplies from our partners, especially from the United States of America.
“And that is exactly why the speed of deliveries means stabilising the front.”
US secretly gives Kyiv long-range missiles
US secretly gives Kyiv long-range missiles
Ukraine has begun using long-range ballistic missiles secretly provided by the US against invading Russian forces, American officials have confirmed.
The weapons were part of a $300m aid package approved by Joe Biden in March and arrived this month.
They have already been used at least once to strike Russian targets in occupied Crimea, US media report.
Biden has now signed a new $61bn package of aid for Ukraine.
The US had already supplied Ukraine with a mid-range version of the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) but had been reluctant to send anything more powerful, over worries about compromising US military readiness.
But Biden is said to have secretly given the green light to send the long-range system – which can fire missiles distance of up to 186 miles – in February.
“I can confirm that the United States provided Ukraine with long-range ATACMS at the president’s direct direction,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said.
The US “did not announce this at the onset in order to maintain operational security for Ukraine at their request”, he added.
It is not clear how many of the weapons have already been sent, but US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Washington planned to send more.
