On Feb. 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, ostensibly to rescue it from Western interlopers. The invasion isn’t just about politics and a redesignation of former Soviet States to once again redraw European borders. Ukraine is materially rich in natural resources and Russia wants to control these along with access to them. It is an economic move as well as a political one via military means.

Very good holistic article from multiple perspectives. While Russia's invasion of Ukraine is brutal, it is not making substantial military progress. One good quote from article: "Reputation doesn’t win wars. Fighting hard, quickly, and to win, does."
