Russia launched strikes on Kiev. This symbolizes how precarious Ukraine situation has become. Ukraine is losing the war and Russia could retain the Donbas. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the Russian Federation does not want peace. Peace proposals were presented prior to 2025, but rejected. NATO expansion is not ending and Ukraine desires to become a member. The European Union wants to militarize, while the US is trying to get warring parties to accept a 20 point peace plan. According to President Zelensky, Russia is using a large number of drones to target civilian infrastructure. The Russian Federation striking civilian targets constitutes war crimes. Ukraine is not guilt free considering its efforts going after targets in Russia. More debates are going on about what are the next steps. President Vladimir Putin insisted the only path is resolution through military force. The Minsk Accords were violated not by Russia, but by Ukraine and the EU countries funding far-right militias . The US-EU block does not want to lose influence over Ukraine. While its unlikely that all of Ukraine would get absorbed into the Russian Federation, the Donbass will be lost. The Russia-Ukraine War is not an attempt to rebuild the Soviet Union or Russian Empire. Rather, this was the result of two world powers trying to make Ukraine a sphere of influence and the transformation of NATO into an anti-Russian alliance. Now discussions are taking place of a formation of a European Army. The Russia-Ukraine War is being used to justify the militarization of Europe. France and the UK are advocating a dangerous policy. Europe would not be able to recover from another continent wide conflict. The war could end either with the fall of the government or opting for an unconditional surrender.
