“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine’s allies to draw the right conclusions. “It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone,” he said.

        Now, or 17 years ago with the Crimean peninsula when Ukraine’s parliament ousted the Putin-backed president who was sabotaging the NATO application? Because to me that’s when it started and the most recent thing is just Putin taking advantage of the US not interdicting when Biden was in office.

          This conflict can trace its origins to the 2008 Bucharest Summit, where both Georgia and Ukraine were assured that they would eventually become NATO members. However, by 2014, escalating tensions and geopolitical events had rendered that assurance too late to prevent the current crisis.
