In early 2022 the Russian military built up a force fighter jets, air defense systems and 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine. Military experts say the buildup gives the Russian military an array of options including seizing the entire territory or certain parts within the country. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union before it collapsed at the end of the Cold War in 1991. The disintegration of the Soviet Union left Russia with a vastly depleted population, territory, and economy. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking to reclaim some of that glory …

No, the United States provoked the conflict in Ukraine and should use diplomatic methods to end the war.
@92477YK2yrs2Y
No, We cannot interfere until Russia invades on NATO land; however, we should give supplies and financial aid to Ukraine
@9243SPW2yrs2Y
Send military weapons over there but soldiers no
@923ND9B2yrs2Y
No, Ukraine is not a NATO ally and we should not directly send troops, but continuing to condemn Russia and send military equipment is right
@8ZTHCHS2yrs2Y
No, Russia in the long run will lose the war due to the unpopularity of the war, and tolls it has taken on the world as a whole.
@8ZB59GL2yrs2Y
Yes, but use all diplomatic ways of dissolving tension in the region before we make it look like we're ready for a war we're not looking to start.

The international community is on high alert as the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest, faces a critical threat amidst ongoing hostilities between Ukraine and Russia. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a stark warning, indicating that the facility is 'dangerously close to a nuclear accident' following recent attacks. This alarming situation has escalated tensions, with both nations trading accusations over responsibility for the perilous state of the plant.The head of the IAEA, addressing the gravity of the situation, emphasized the potential global repercussions of an accident at the Zaporizhzhia plant. Situated in a conflict zone, the nuclear facility's security and operational integrity are compromised, raising fears of a disaster that could have far-reaching environmental and health impacts. The international community watches anxiously as efforts to ensure the plant's safety are entangled in geopolitical strife.During a recent session before the United Nations Security Council, Ukraine and Russia presented conflicting accounts of the events leading to the current crisis. The exchange highlighted the complex interplay of military actions and nuclear safety, underscoring the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to protect both the region and the wider world from a nuclear catastrophe.The situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant serves as a grim reminder of the inherent risks of operating such facilities in conflict zones. It calls for immediate international cooperation to secure the plant and prevent an accident that could have irreversible consequences. As the world watches, the hope is for diplomacy to prevail, averting a crisis that could dwarf previous nuclear accidents in its scale and severity.The ongoing crisis at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is a stark illustration of the broader dangers posed by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It underscores the critical importance of safeguarding nuclear facilities amidst warfare, a challenge that demands global attention and action to prevent a disaster that could haunt humanity for generations.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) plans to bring separate bills funding Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to the House floor, in a maneuver aimed at breaking a monthlong deadlock over a $95 billion foreign-aid package the Senate passed earlier this year.Johnson briefed colleagues on the details of the bills in a closed-door meeting of House Republicans. He has faced intense pressure to pass legislation to help rearm Israel following an attack by Iran and fulfill his long-stalled pledge to further fund Ukraine. He also plans a fourth bill that includes a proposal to use seized Russian assets to help pay for aid to Kyiv. The fourth bill also includes the House legislation that forces a sale or ban of TikTok in the U.S. The legislation won’t have any provisions related to immigration, according to Republicans leaving the meeting. Johnson said he hadn’t determined whether the four bills, if passed, would be sent separately or as a package to the Senate.Ukraine would receive $48.43 billion in the package.

Donald Trump is hyped up about debating President Biden early and often from here to November, making it an almost daily part of his campaign commentary. Too bad he undermined his position by refusing to debate his GOP challengers.Mr. Trump now says the two presumptive nominees have “an obligation” to debate, which he said is “for the good of our country.” We agree it would be useful, especially given how old both candidates are. Voters could compare their relative intellectual acuity as well as their positions on issues.Mr. Biden says he’s open to debates depending on Mr. Trump’s behavior. But don’t be surprised if he declines, especially if he continues to rise in the polls. A coalition of media outfits issued a plea Sunday to both candidates to debate this year, but that is unlikely to make much of a difference.Mr. Trump would be on firmer ground had he deigned to debate Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie and others. He refused because he didn’t want to answer direct questions about his first-term record, his legal vulnerability, or his glib vow to stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. The decision paid off for him, but voters are now likely to shrug at his pleas for Mr. Biden to appear on stage with him.Mr. Trump likes to invoke political norms when they serve his purposes but dismiss them when they don’t. If Mr. Biden chooses not to debate, Mr. Trump can blame himself for setting the precedent.
