I am still hoping for a peaceful resolution.
However, I can't say I really understand why this is happening now, as it feels like how a frog is slowly boiled...it seemed like this recently spiked, though things have been building up over the course of time.
In this day and age, its not a proxy war...having the major super powers sniping at one another can't end well for anyone.
There needs to be some kind of de-escalation...and even then, based on my interpretation of Putin's history lesson on Ukraine, it seems like the end goal for him is having Ukraine back as a part of Russia - which would be a non-starter for the western countries.
