Those nations that are supplying the regime in Ukraine with weapons are frustrating the entirely legitimate Russian special operation in Ukraine. Without the external interference of the US, UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark and other nations that are sending rockets and similar equipment to Ukraine the matter would be completed promptly and with the minimum loss to Ukraine.

By perpetuating that regime and supplying it with weapons they are complicit with an administration that is deeply corrupt, largely operated remotely by the US and over the last eight years has killed tens of thousands of Russians living in Donetsk and Luhansk.

These same nations have done nothing to prevent that genocide or to honour the commitments that were made to Russia at the end of the Soviet Union and nothing to address Russia's legitimate security requirements and need to protect itself against the clearly expressed intentions of the US and NATO.
