> lol now this question is being asked? now? as much as i appreciate your wishful thinking, this conflict is beyond the scope of reason, and the interests that have propelled us back into the Cold War (more like Luke-warm War) want it that way. good luck with that though. Russia wants a bigger stake in the global economy alongside China, and the West doesn't want that to happen ever! So...
Ukraine and the west tried to negotiate before the war started, including having Ukraine not in NATO, but it wasn't enough for Putin so he invaded regardless.
i feel like this drum has been beaten many times before.
Russia wants the war and resources. yet they're military resources are dwindling, and Ukraine is getting hand me downs from the West. it's all very circular and confusing. either that or the media is just blurring all the details. i give up. all i want is an end to this bullshit. all of it!

The only one who wants this war is Russia.
