After three years of fighting and occupying 20% of Ukraine's land, why hasn't Russia stopped? The answer is simple. As the conflict continued, Russia's goals changed. At first, Russia just wanted to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO through military action. Later, Russia discovered that all Europe and the United States had ended, and it was impossible to fight.
Russia has always attached great importance to the security of its western border. In history, Napoleon and Hitler used Ukraine as a springboard to fight. This memory is engraved in my bones.
Starting in the 1990s, NATO expanded step by step to the east, first pulling Poland into it, then taking over the three Baltic states, the military force was getting closer.
In 2008, NATO said that Ukraine would join, and in 2019, Ukraine simply wrote the treaty into the constitution, which Russia viewed as buried at the doorstep.
In February 2022, Russia launched a special military operation with the very direct idea of forcing Ukraine to abandon the treaty, remain neutral and give itself a buffer.
At the beginning of the war, the Russian army quickly advanced to the outskirts of Kiev and captured Kherson, parts of Zaporizhne, and Mariupol.
Who can imagine that Ukraine is confused with soft, more surprisingly is the European and American countries directly down.
The U.S. provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid, the European Union followed the shipment of weapons, German "Leopard 2" tanks, and U.S. "Hymas" rocket guns were sent to Ukraine.
Finland and Sweden also joined NATO in 2023, with more than 1,300 kilometers of border with Russia, which is equivalent to opening up a mouth in the north.
Russia understood that it was not so easy to stop Ukraine from joining the Treaty.
In 2024, the Russian army adjusted its style of play, using "Lancet" drones to bomb the Ukrainian army's supply lines, and hitting the headquarters with "Iskander" missiles, slowly stabilizing the front line.
By 2025, he has controlled 20% of Ukraine's land, but at this time there is no way to stop. Putin has publicly said that he will build a "security buffer zone" on the Russia-Ukraine border, and troops are still advancing in the direction of Kharkiv.
This war has long been a matter not only between Russia and Russia.
In October 2025, the British "Financial Times" revealed that the United States not only sent weapons to Ukraine, but also directly participated in the planning of attacks on targets in Russia.
Small to drone flight altitude, bypass radar route, large to strike time choice, all U.S. military personnel participated in the design.
Ukraine's high success rate in bombing Russian refineries is all behind the technical support of the United States.
Even more strange, the silence of the U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian three sides after the news came, this abnormal silence explains the issue more than a quarrel.
Because Russia’s investment is so big that it can’t go back.
Military spending rose to $13.43 billion in 2025, accounting for 6.3 percent of GDP.
So it shifted its energy business to Asia, sold more than two-percent oil to China, earned a lot of money in coal business with India, and the economy was still reversed by 4.1%, which has a backdrop.
The West has put in place tens of thousands of sanctions, and this “money bag” may not have been stabbed.
The domestic people are also holding up, Putin's support rate has beenined at more than 70%, and the "defense of the motherland" cried out during the parade on the Red Square is not empty.
However, the price is also real. From time to time, drones in Ukraine bomb Russian oil depots and oil pipelines, and military factories are also targeted by missiles. Many production lines are destroyed, and front-line ammunition sometimes cannot be delivered.
Africa, the Middle East, those places that used to listen to Russian, are now influenced by Europe and the United States, and the speech has not been used before. but even this cannot be stopped, and the advance investment is in vain, and the international will be pressured away by the West.
The essence of this battle is a strategic showdown between Russia and the West.
The West wants to rely on Ukraine to consume Russia, and Russia wants to maintain its security space and regain its foothold in Eastern Europe.
Peace can never be compromised by one side, but both sides must find an acceptable balance.
After all, no matter who wins or loses, the ones who suffer will always be ordinary people. Only by stopping the fighting will we truly win.
