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 …

@92R84TX3yrs3Y
I believe in sending aid and weapons to help Ukraine defend itself but entering into a hot war with Russian will dramatically increase the chances of nuclear war
@92QVC9D3yrs3Y
Why only focus on defending Ukraine

Not if it increases risk world war

@jdp20223yrs3Y
more military aid should be sent first and military forces should be a last resort

@dfpbone3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if there are no other less violent ways of solving the invasion.
@92GB8NK3yrs3Y
That we help Ukraine at all costs without starting WW3
@92FXBSY3yrs3Y
Supplying Weapons and ISTAR info but not boots on the ground, unless nuclear weapons are used then I believe that then the Russian Armed Forces will have crossed a serious red line.

Supplying Weapons and ISTAR info but not boots on the ground,

Not enough knowledge on this
@9267SKPPlaid Cymru3yrs3Y
Yes, but only weapons, not manpower
@9267CQT3yrs3Y
Yes, but every other option should be exhausted first - intervening may run the risk of starting a nuclear war
@925ND593yrs3Y
No, we should stay out of the matter
@925ND593yrs3Y
No, we should stay out of it
The U.S. should but NATO should not.
Yes as a last resort to stop war crimes
@9235QMV3yrs3Y
At the request of the Ukrainian government (and with recognition from the U.N.) those wishing to aid Ukraine militarily should be given temporary military access to the country.

Far too complex for here.
@8ZTBLBV3yrs3Y

@cormallenLabour3yrs3Y
Probably not on the ground particularly but air-cover for Kiev and links to the west probably reasonable at this point.
@8Z8MGKS3yrs3Y
@8Z7Q8RD3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if all diplomacy fails
@8Z736C43yrs3Y
Preventing Russian aggression is important, but unless they are directly attacking nato or out strong allies, military action should be avoided. Aiding in diplomatic attempts to resolve the situation is fine & supplying Ukraine with ammo/weapons, which may be used to threaten Russia & therefore deter them is fine too.
More sanctions should be used before military force
@8Z5T89C3yrs3Y
Only if it will prevent a third world war.
@8Z5KP5Z3yrs3Y
Only if atrocities are proven.
@8Z5C3QY3yrs3Y
Not our war, but to our benefit yes, it would destroy Russia's defence.
@8Z2T39F3yrs3Y
US and NATO should use the threat of military force against the Russian government, but diplomatic solutions should remain priority.
@8YZ2TY53yrs3Y
No, but we would instead attempt diplomacy
@8YXLQ65Conservative3yrs3Y
Only if Diplomacy fails first
@8YXJ9FQ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if Ukraine is endanger of falling
@8YX9VLX3yrs3Y
No, and remove the UK from the NATO agreement.
@8YX2G8PLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
No, but the most serious economic sanctions that are possible should be used in a coordinated way against Russia
@8YWYTW73yrs3Y
It's not for me to day as I dont live there
@8YWY4SL3yrs3Y
They are both trying to take over Ukraine for their own gains
@8YWFS8P3yrs3Y
NATO should agree to a moratorium on further expansion and try to ease tensions with Russia.
@938P7DZ3yrs3Y
No but sanction Russia whilst providing Ukraine with humanitarian and military aid and accepting an acceptable number of Ukrainian refugees
@932HQN43yrs3Y
If their application to NATO is fast tracked - yes. Otherwise no. Or we start WW3.
@92YRZL43yrs3Y
Possibly depending on the coming actions from Russia.
