Here we go with the "the rest of the world" line. I know it sounds good, but this is not a global conflict and vast swaths of planet aren't invested in either side.

Well, OK. But no one is providing Russia with anything. No help at all. There are countries attempting to do business as usual, but that's all.
Russia is friendless, and that's as it should be. They caused enormous loss of life in Syria and created a refugee crisis that killed many more. Now they are threatening mass starvation.
Russian forces have likely secured the Luhansk Oblast border, although pockets of Ukrainian resistance may remain in and around Lysychansk

The Kremlin continued to set conditions for potential Russian annexation of proxy republics on July 3. Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Head Denis Pushilin announced that United Russia Party Secretary of the General Council Andrey Turchak and party representatives established a legal aid center in Donetsk City.[31] Pushilin noted that the legal aid center will provide DNR residents assistance with education, legal documents, and registration for social benefits. Pushilin and Turchak also handed out Russian passports to DNR residents.[32] The Kremlin is likely attempting to integrate proxy legal and governmental structures into the Russian framework.
Ukrainian partisans reportedly derailed a Russian armored train carrying ammunition near Melitopol on July 2.[33] Kremlin-sponsored outlet RIA Novosti acknowledged that the train derailed around Yakymivka, but claimed that the incident was an accident.[34] Ukrainian partisans previously targeted Russian armored trains and locomotives in Melitopol in late April and mid-May.
Putin has generated all of the troubles we see today. He leads a kleptocracy, which damages his country and hurts his people, and he launched an ill considered regime change in Ukraine ... so he got his unready nation entangled in a guagmire of a brutal war he didn't expect and nobody wants.
The only way the world could be safer is if our brothers and sisters in Russia got rid of that master criminal Putin.
But they won't do that, so this will play out the hard way.
No he didn't.
...
Yes he did.
What goes on in Ukraine is none of his damned business. He knows it, you know it and I know it.
His job (as poorly as he does it) is as leader of Russia. Putin is well known to be a murderer and a criminal having had assassinated many political rivals and critics. Putin stole that job through rigged elections and terror, now he wants to steal a neighboring sovereign state. He needs to keeps his greedy paws off Ukraine, and stay where he belongs.
Putin started this war for his own selfish reasons. Now many have died, many thousands of people who do not belong under his authority have perished due to Putin's greediness and grandiose ego ... his minions have killed them in horrible ways.

Putin is a war criminal.
Ukrainian nationalist government made it his damned business.
By fomenting constant hatred towards Russia, by threatening Crimea ( which is vital to Russia's strategic interests.) Not to mention that people there didn't want anything to do with the Nationalist Ukraine.)
Plus inviting NATO military bases there.
maybe today someone will be lucky enough to slip master strategist Putin a nice refreshing cocktail with a lethal amount of poison in it to help America celebrate our Independence Day...Happy Fourth of July everyone !!..

No.
Ukrainian issues are for Ukrainians to solve. We who believe in national sovereignty and self determination understand this.
If Putin doesn't like it he can lump it, it's none of his business.
Ukraine is a sovereign state, has a seat in the United Nations and has a functioning democracy which is working hard to solve it's post-soviet problems of corruption (which are very similar to Russia's problems of corruption).
Ukraine can fix it's own problems, Putin has no authority there. Putin should try to fix the problems of Russia (which he won't, because he is part of the problem with his criminal enterprises). So Putin could possibly clean up Russia with all the authority he has, but he will not because that criminality is the source of his obscene wealth.
So he desires to extend his greedy reach into other people's pockets, and the Ukrainians are having none of it.
Now Ukraine is the graveyard of many young Russians and Ukrainians, because Putin stuck his nose in places it didn't belong.
