Path to war in Ukraine was laid in months of plans, warnings

Associated Press  

The week before Russia attacked, a Ukrainian soldier peered through a periscope from the bottom of his trench. “These wars for territory are madness,” he said, “but probably this is human nature.” Within days, Ukraine was engulfed by what the soldier in the trench saw as humanity’s dark impulse. The reprieve was brief for Leshchyshyn’s unit and for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had tweeted that the redeployment “proportionally reduces tension.” Soon afterward, U.S. President Joe Biden agreed to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva, a summit widely seen as a reward for suspending the drills. “We don’t see that there is intention on Putin’s part so far.” At NATO, Germany blocked efforts to help Ukraine acquire military equipment. On Jan. 10, Russia’s deputy foreign minister insisted there were “no plans, intentions or reasons to attack Ukraine.” The U.S. did not believe it.
