The bloodiest battle in Europe since World War II strikes into its third yr.
The value of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is already huge: tens of 1000’s of troopers killed on either side; 1000’s of civilians useless; and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians compelled from their bombed-out cities and cities.
Yet there’s little signal of an finish in sight.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stays defiant – saying there shall be no peace till his nation’s targets are met. Meanwhile, Ukraine is once more interesting for extra donations to switch dwindling provides of ammunition.
The European Union agreed to a brand new package deal price $54bn earlier this month. But the United States Congress can’t agree upon their assist package deal.
It is election yr within the US and Republicans are arguing over whether or not to increase the navy lifeline to Ukraine – a delay that might put extra strain on NATO.
So, is the Russia-Ukraine conflict one that may be received? Who is benefiting? And the place would possibly Putin set his sights subsequent?
