> I don’t want this war to continue. Neither do Ukrainians. But they don't have much of a choice really. > Already too many people died on both sides. And who started that? > This is not my war and I don’t want to get involved in any way. > I’m 40 years old and I want to care for my family (daughter & girlfriend). Yeah, as do Ukrainians, but they can't because someone wants to kill them just because they didn't like the idea of no longer being Ukrainians. > It’s a shame the Western world and Ukraine deceived Russia with the Minsk accords. Ukrainians wanted to be working more closely with the west. Would you like to be relocated to Russia, or going to prison and your daughter going to orphanage if you didn't want to be Russian [0]?

> And who started that? I’m not sure this question leads anywhere. I’d like to know, what must be the case for Russia to be able to withdraw from Ukraine? They may have started, but I’ve heard a claim that for strategic reasons, Russia was compelled to invade; compelled to continue the invasion. Even if that’s not true, what can the EU do while Ukraine is defending so that Russia is incentivised to switch from war to commerce?

  Russia wasn't compelled. It was Putin who felt it was his time to become "Putin the Great" and to "solve the Ukrainian issue"[0] by invading a sovereign country. Can anything be done? I don't think we can do much except supplying weapons. Putin can not admit defeat, that's unthinkable for him. So he will send many young and old men to die, until the political situation changes, but I don't believe it can happen anytime soon.
