The US president is pledging to provide Kyiv ‘with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defence systems ‘

President Joe Biden on Monday told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the US would provide Ukraine’s armed forces with “advanced air defence systems” and other self-defence support after Russian missile strikes hit a range of civilian targets in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.

You guys don't understand world politics and the game at play in Ukraine.

The actors directly involved, all understand what's going on and know it isn't an all-out war or that Russia is unable to crush Ukraine as you put it.

Just to give you some sort of perspective to ponder upon...

Since Putin took over the leadership of Russia, he has been on a drive to make Russia gain back her respect and prestige in World politics.

Of course, achieving these plans would require active participation and direct supervision by someone as knowledgeable and tactical as Putin. This is one reason why Putin has been switching from being President to Prime Minister and vice versa. In my opinion, something like this is what Nigeria needs if we are to succeed in digging ourselves from the current rot and consolidating on any little wins.

If Putin hadn't taken the above stand, his plans would have been hijacked, sabotaged, and upturned, largely by the West as major sponsors. This is part of the reason why they are so mad at Putin because they know he knows them and has blocked them from gaining direct access to Russia.

Now, you need to understand that Russia is also a superpower with weapon production capabilities. Most countries that manufacture weapons will always look for ways to create a phantom war as an avenue for them to advertise and test their weapons in a real war situation to be able to go back to the drawing board with feedback on how to correct any failings. Russia could have and I'm sure Putin would have loved that country to be used as a testing ground not to be Ukraine for obvious reasons.

While Russia had been on a rebuild under Putin, you can recall how many such needless wars had been instigated and carried out by the West.

They know and understand that it is Russia's right to test and advertise their weapons just as they do without any moral ground to stand up against such in an ideal and less hypocritical world.

Now, Russia would have loved to have a different ground and place to test and advertise its weapon capabilities other than Ukraine. But the comedian had comically volunteered himself to be a puppet to the West and hand them a binocular to be able to peep into Russia at will, something they can and will never accept.

Zelensky has foolishly turned his country into a battleground for a battle of wits, supremacy, and alliance between two superpowers and will have himself to blame.

In conclusion, Russia has come of age on so many fronts and Putin believes this is the right time to test out all they've been working at setting up both militarily and economically, and you'd agree with me that, they've recorded some degree of success in the economic aspect and that this war has only ended up reassuring them that they are indeed a country that can stand up to most countries and sanctions without any succumb to bullying.

Nonsense...

We no dey hear NATO and EU voice again...

Make una continue to dey follow follow the rich big bully blindly...

Una eye go clear.

BETTER TO DIE FIGHTING FOR YOUR HOME THAN SURRENDER TO SLAVERY AND STILL DIE.
THE FORMER MAKES YOU A MARTYR AND THE LATER A SUICIDE.

PUTIN IS FIGHTING FOR CONTROL OF OIL AND GAS EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. HE IS COMING TO THE MIDDLE EAST.

Never make your neighbours your enemies. Ukraine is not a small country that Putin would just ride on like that. US would drain Russians resources. Let me remind you. Ussr had more casualties than Germany during ww2. Goal of US and Uk was to keep suppling Stalin resources he need in eastern front of the war through land-,lease act. Germans expended their munitions in eastern front. Nazi army surrendered when munitions finished.
Yesterday, Russia spent $300 to 1B to kill 11 civilians and injured about 90. RA would be getting weaker while UA would be getting stronger.
This war would destroy Russia eventually.

WATCHOVER:
NATO is actually a weak and foolish organization, you are sending more defensive weapons when the one you have been sending cannot stop any thing.
NATO should hid their head in shame
NB: for those who care to know there is difference between UN and NATO.
All members of NATO are in the UN but not all members of UN are in NATO.
Russia has a veto right in UN.
UN is the highest, NATO, EU, AU, BRICS etc are smaller unions on their own

Brilliant point!!!
You understand root of the problem. Russia economy is heavily relied on oil and gas. Russia has not really diversified her economy to industrial one like China. Europe is working on green energy. Ukraine gas reserve in donbas and crimea is a threat to Russian gas monopoly in eastern europe.
