“Every member of the alliance wants to bring this war to an end as soon as possible. We are clearly determined to maintain our security assistance to Ukraine, to continue our sanctions, export control and diplomatic pressure on Russia for as long as is necessary,” he said. He added that the United States and its NATO allies are “focused on giving Ukraine as strong support as possible on the battlefield and at a negotiation table.”

Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said earlier that Ukraine’s militarization by the West “directly threatens European and global security.” Moscow is calling on “the sponsors of the Kiev regime to stop instigating bloodshed in Ukraine and think about the consequences of their actions,” he said, commenting on weapons supplies to Ukraine.
It's the likes of Schwab, Gates, Central Banks, big pharma, Financiers, WEF global groomed leaders who are the real threat. Russia was a scapegoat used by NATO. Ukraine is suffering because US/UK etc are pumping in old weapons to keep the war going, buying new with sanction money https://t.co/RNCYkFo8H3
