Russia Ukraine war, page-240866

This war has everything to do with US and UK. EU, by extension, as a slave of US interests. With Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland (as of late) becoming the most vocal dogs of anti-Russian sentiment.

USA is not interested in Russia forming closer ties with Europe, because it challenged their hegemony.
USA is not interested in Europe forming closer ties with resource-rich Ukraine. Which is what Yanukovich tried to do by signing a 10bn dollar contract with Royal Dutch Shell, to develop a massive gas field, located in the vicinity of where the front line is located now. Actually the Russians have already taken over part of the gas field that was meant to make Ukraine rich, and make. Europe less reliant on Russian gas.

And who benefits the most?

USA. Record profits for US-based gas companies, as well as companies that belong to the military industrial complex.

European industry (and the wider populations) gets to suffer as a result of elevated energy costs.

Facts. They matter. Stick to facts.
