Protecting Ukraine is a matter of meeting Russia's enormous effort to kill off the people of that country. Russia has a large arsenal and it is throwing everything at Ukraine. It is flattening the cities and there is no safety for the return of people. The Russian resolve to continue the genocide is not only alarming, but, bringing about a new reality for the global community. I don't believe any country's leaders expected this degree of hatred of a people from Russia.

The largest (click here) contingency of countries to date have joined Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to find a way forward with such alarming changes in Russian's willingness to take it's politics to war. Fifty countries today are alarmed by the events in Ukraine. This is a new awareness of Russia and national defenses are now being evaluated.
What contributes to the alarm is China's endorsement of the Russian war. The world cannot ignore this alliance. To ignore it is to increase the danger to all countries that love democracy.
Conversations with China are going to come into view now. China and Russia are shedding their masks of capitalism to carry out colonialism of other peoples and countries.
Russia has no legal basis to carry out genocide. Endorsing genocide is another alarming reality of China. The United Nations Security Council has become mute to any peace movement or peacekeeping force with two major powers advocating genocide of Ukraine.

President Xi Jinping of China (click here) backed the legality of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine during talks with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, the Kremlin has said, in what would constitute one of the most significant shifts since the conflict began more than 100 days ago.
"Vladimir Putin laid out his principled assessment of the situation in Ukraine and the tasks being tackled during the special military operation," Moscow said in its readout of the June 15 call, which took place on the occasion of Xi's 69th birthday.
"The President of China noted the legitimacy of Russia's actions to protect fundamental national interests in the face of challenges to its security created by external forces," the Kremlin said of the "warm and friendly" conversation.
