Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has attracted an incredible amount of propaganda and fake news stories.
The people who are suffering are the Ukrainians who have been displaced, killed and captured. No-one disagrees with that.
But so many people are suggesting that their is an endgame that is involves Russian sanctions and isolation.
The cost of the war in Ukraine
Whilst Ukraine will be left in ruins and in need of a rebuild. The unfortunate cost of the war will leave the country with debt for the arms that have been supplied by the United States and being used as a proxy for the US.
Russia has a perspective which is monitored and blocked by major search engines.
Ukraine and specifically the President Zelensky is on a PR war. Rallying as many world leaders to join to condemn the Russian invasion.
Will Ukraine join NATO?
The questions everyone is still asking is Will Ukraine be able to join NATO and the EU.
And if that happens will Russia take this war to the next level.

Zelensky travels to United Arab Emirates as momentum grows for war peace talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky travelled to the United Arab Emirates to an Emirati official and honour guard late on Sunday as momentum grows for war peace talks ending Moscow’s war on the country.
This follows the US President Donald Trump last week suggested he would be meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia.
The UAE has been floated as a possible site for peace talks as well given the large population of Russian and Ukrainian expatriates who have flooded the country since the war began, and due to the Emirates’ work on prisoner exchanges in the past.

However as momentum grows for war peace talks, Zelensky position has been thrown into disarray as Kyiv has had an indififferent reaction to Trump’s new US policy.
Zelensky travels to United Arab Emirates as momentum grows for war peace talks
Zelensky travels to United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi after attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
News footage released by his office showed him and his wife, Olena Zelenska, being greeted by an Emirati official and honour guard at the airport late on Sunday night.
It was not immediately clear what Mr Zelensky’s agenda would be while he was in the country. Ms Zelenska has travelled to the UAE since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, but this trip is Mr Zelensky’s first to the UAE since the war began.
“Our top priority is bringing even more of our people home from captivity,” Mr Zelensky’s office said in messages online.
“We will also focus on investments and economic partnership, as well as a large-scale humanitarian program.” as the momentum grows for war peace talks following Trump’s appointment.
The United Arab Emirates state-run WAM news agency did not immediately report on Mr Zelensky’s arrival, which was unusual.
It was not immediately clear what his agenda would be while he was in the country, though Abu Dhabi is hosting its biennial International Defence Exhibition and Conference arms show this week, where both Ukraine and Russia have displayed arms — even as Moscow faces Western sanctions over the war.
Russian money continues to flood into Dubai
Russian money continues to flood into Dubai’s red-hot real estate market. Daily flights between the Emirates and Moscow provide a lifeline for both those fleeing conscription and the Russian elite.
The US Treasury under former president Joe Biden also expressed concerns about the amount of Russian cash flowing into the Arabian Peninsula country.
Mr Zelensky’s visit comes as Denis Manturov, Russia’s first deputy prime minister, visited earlier on Sunday with UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the country’s president and ruler of Abu Dhabi.
A readout from WAM described the talks as focusing on “growing UAE-Russia ties and ways to advance shared interests, benefiting both nations and their peoples”.
Zelensky says Russia attacking own civilians in Kursk
President Zelensky says Russia attacking own civilians in Kursk. As Ukraine accused Russia of bombing a boarding school sheltering civilians in the Russian town of Sudzha, which is currently occupied by Ukraine.
At the same time, Russian officials said Kyiv was behind the air strike, which they described as a “crime.”
“Russian aviation struck a boarding school in the town of Sudzha, Kursk region, with a guided aerial bomb,” the Ukrainian army’s general staff said on Telegram. “The strike was carried out on purpose.”
Ukrainian officials said at least four people were dead.
Kyiv deployed its forces across the Russian border into the Kursk region last August, seizing dozens of villages and small towns, including the regional hub of Sudzha. The town was home to some 6,000 people before the fighting.
“At the time of the attack, dozens of local residents were inside the building preparing to evacuate. Everything possible is being done to rescue the survivors.”
Russia says missiles fired from inside Ukraine
In an online post, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of striking its “own civilians” in Sudzha. He shared a video which showed a heavily damaged building, as well as an injured man lying on the ground.
“This is how Russia wages war,” he said.
“They destroyed the building even though dozens of civilians were there,” Zelensky said. “Russian bombs destroy Ukrainian homes the same way. And even against their own civilians, the Russian army uses similar tactics.”
However, Russian officials said its air defenses noted the projectile had come from the Ukrainian territory. They also said there was no reliable information yet on the death toll.
“In any case, firing missiles at a boarding school, where people could be, is a crime,” the deputy governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinshtein, said on Telegram.
