Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia, made it certain to not allow Ukraine into NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Russia accuses Ukraine of a military build-up of its own and demanded legal guarantees, so they would never join NATO. Ukraine is one of the few countries in Eastern Europe that are not a part of the alliance. Volodymyr Zelensky says 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed during Russia’s full-scale invasion. The Ukrainian president said he would not give the number of wounded soldiers, as that would help Russian military planning. Since February 2022, the United States has funded fifty-five-billion dollars. This war has gone on for three years.
