Putin and the Russians believe that the Americans and the West are fighting against them to weaken and subjugate Russia, using the former Soviet republics such as Ukraine and the Baltic states and Poland.
Few minutes ago, the Russians lobbed eight Russian missiles to a city close to the Polish border. Putin has given his army full order to destroy everything on their way if it hinders progress. The Ukrainian cities will soon look like the Syrian towns such as Allepo and the Chechen Grozny.
To Putin and the Russians, this is life or death, because at the end of the Cold war the Americans under Bush Sr. promised that NATO will not expand. Playing on Russian perceived weakness, the Americans ignored the Russians and moved within a striking distance of a mid range missile.
This time, the Russians are meant business, and soon after Ukraine, Putin will move to strike the Baltic states unless they accept neutrality, Finland style.
Putin is writing his legacy, either leave a weak Russia or a Russia that can say no! Otherwise, expect a Third World War.
The means the end of this unjust and greedy West. What do we have to lose? Nothing, except our chains. We can not starve often and fight using their weapons and money. It has to end.
Poor Ukrainians believed Sleepy Joe's blubber as a promise. Soon, they may be wiped off the map of Europe along many states
Here is the recent from BBC --
A long expected attack comes to Lviv

BBC News in Lviv
In Lviv, the air raid sirens went off at around 03:30. They have been sounding regularly in this city in the west of the country that, so far, had been spared of any attack, 18 days into this war.
Officials have now confirmed that eight Russian missiles hit the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security at the Yavoriv military facility near the border with Poland, a Nato member.
Lviv, with a population of about 700,000, has become a hub for people fleeing the conflict as well as for much needed aid and weapons coming in.
On Saturday, the streets were bustling with people, with live music in one of the main squares and outdoor markets.
But preparations for an attack were well under way with many statues in the city centre, a Unesco World Heritage site, being wrapped in protective sheets. This morning’s attack will certainly raise concerns, but will not come as a surprise.
