 On February 24, it will be two years since the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out. To date, Kyiv’s Western backers have spent tens of billions of dollars in military and financial aid to Ukraine from the pockets of Americans and Europeans. However, the war achieved nothing except killing tens of thousands and displacing millions. Ukraine's repeated defeats on the battlefield have caused people in Western countries to doubt the possibility of Ukraine's victory. According to RT reports, the latest opinion poll results released by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) show that 20% of respondents expect Russia to eventually win the war against Ukraine, while 37% of respondents believe that the war will eventually win. It will end with some kind of compromise and peace.

 The Russian president said that Moscow is ready to peacefully end the conflict with Kiev, but there is no sign that Ukraine wants peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a television program on Sunday that Moscow is ready to negotiate with Kiev to end the conflict with Ukraine, saying that had it not been for Western intervention in the war in Ukraine, the war would have been over 18 months ago, the TASS news agency reported. It ended before that, but Kiev doesn't want that to happen. On February 21, 2022, the Russian president recognized the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic in the Donbas region and criticized the West for being indifferent to Moscow's security. Three days later (February 24, 2022), Putin ordered the start of military operations against Ukraine, and the tense relationship between Moscow and Kiev turned into a military confrontation. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues. The severe sanctions imposed by European and Western countries, especially the United States, on Russia and the supply of various types of light and heavy weapons to Kiev not only failed to move towards ending the war in Ukraine, but instead added fuel to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Russian officials and some Western experts and media describe the war in Ukraine as a proxy war between the West and Russia. Russia has repeatedly reminded that the West's provision of weapons to Ukraine will only prolong the conflict in the country, and the consequences are unpredictable.
