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.
@OcelotBartRepublican10mos10MO
While it's true that the US and other western countries supported Ukraine's shift towards a more Western-oriented government, it's important to note that this doesn't equate to provoking conflict. The root of the conflict lies in historical tensions and territorial disputes between Russia and Ukraine.
For instance, take the annexation of Crimea in 2014. This was a direct action taken by Russia, not something instigated by the US.
Diplomacy should always be the first line of defense in resolving international disputes. But when diplomacy fails, should we let countries infringe upon the sovereignty of others without any repercussions?
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
@8ZTHCHSConstitution2yrs2Y
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.
Yes, only if Ukraine wants it, US and NATO has tried all other option.
@8Z2ZX882yrs2Y
Yes, if Russia attacks the Baltic states.
@92R7K452yrs2Y
No, it could spark nuclear war.
@9252Q4WWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think we should help them but if we get involved, we get dragged into that war and soon enough we would have world war 3.
@924ZKYPWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
They should provide financial support, but only engage as a last resort
@924R24Y2yrs2Y
No, unless attacked first.
@924PH3B2yrs2Y
No, but we should organize a humanitarian effort like the Berlin airlift in order to relieve the innocent citizens of Ukraine and continue to sanction Russia. Only if Russia attacks a NATO country or a humanitarian convoy should we take an active defense.
Only when Russia attacks a NATO member
@924KQLR2yrs2Y
No, but the Russian invasion should be opposed with tough sanctions and US troops should be increased to bordering NATO countries.
@924KLVV2yrs2Y
No, the government should help by sanctioning the Russian oligarchs and cancel all of Ukraine's debt.
No, provide them with force fighter jets, ships and air defense systems but do not deploy our troops
Yes, but in the form of providing them with force fighter jets, ships and air defense systems
@932N3CB2yrs2Y
this is a complicated question because if done wrong, world war 3 or a worse fate could start so I think we should aid them by not supporting Russia and helping Ukraine by donating supplies and getting people to safety, and aid with peace talks between the two countries
@9333TQS2yrs2Y
No, unless Russia attacks countries apart from NATO but I do think America should support Ukraine
@9333MNZ2yrs2Y
Yes but only if the Russian military attacks U.S. personnel, NATO Personnel, or other Russian neighbors seeking protection from Russia aggression
@93329V42yrs2Y
yes because we use stuff from russia.
@932ZRLKRepublican2yrs2Y
We should use caution if we get involved, so World War III does not break out with Russia and the U.S.
@932YX6S2yrs2Y
No because we shouldn't get involved in that unless Russian touches a NATO country. We should support them to a point. If we get to invloved in could turn into WWIII.
Yes, Ukraine needs severe help from America.
@932Y5KX2yrs2Y
Yes but not so much we’re spending all our money over there instead of focusing on our own people
Yes, if there were casualties among any NATO members or for foreign civilians from NATO countries within Ukraine.
@932TY5Q2yrs2Y
No assist Ukrainian citizens in evacuation instead.
@932RZYQProgressive2yrs2Y
No, we should try to solve this matter diplomatically; however, we should use military force only if absolutely necessary if Russia escalates the war beyond Ukraine.
@932PKCK2yrs2Y
NO, The Ukraine IS NOT OUR responsibility.
@932LQFK2yrs2Y
Yes, Russia is attacking Ukraine's innocent people for no reason, and they need help from outside military forces to protect themselves.
@932HZN42yrs2Y
Yes, without starting a world war following the NATO guidelines. Consider it a proxy war till there is a direct conflict.
@932DSHX2yrs2Y
No. Ukraine is not part of NATO
@9329MSJIndependent2yrs2Y
No, then we would get involved and possibly bring in some wars.
@9327B5G2yrs2Y
There should be some items that are sent and are helpful and only people who want to go but if we all just join it could cause a world war
@93278Z82yrs2Y
I feel that the UN and NATO have the world's best interests and have discussed all aspects of the events in the Ukraine. Let those two organizations do what they were designed to do.
@9326MGV2yrs2Y
We should be sending aid to Russia in their defensive proclamation against Ukraine.
@93242VC2yrs2Y
No, unfortunately this would lead far worse consequences for everyone involved than the worst case for Ukrainian
@93239972yrs2Y
No but we should continue/increase arms shipping.
@92ZZMGS2yrs2Y
Provide aid, but don't go all out in our/NATO's involvement
@92ZZWMT2yrs2Y
No, but continue to send weapons and supplies
@Azerah2yrs2Y
Only as a final effort towards intervention. We should not risk a war with Russia
@salazarpeGreen2yrs2Y
No, the U.S. and NATO should strive for diplomacy to avoid escalation and a potential nuclear fallout
@92ZWS7R2yrs2Y
No and we shouldnt help ukraine either
No, Ukraine is not a NATO member.
@92ZTPRT2yrs2Y
what's happening in ukraine is a humanitarian crisis so the us is obliged to step in
@92ZS97P2yrs2Y
It depends on how the war develops
@92ZSL2B2yrs2Y
We should donate tanks and drones to Ukraine but not put men on the ground in Ukraine
