For those of us who aren't westerners and are familiar with the divide-and-rule tactics of the superpowers since colonial times, it is clear that the US and UK are the most vocal advocate of prolonging and escalating the war in Ukraine. This tactic makes sense as the more the war drags on, the more it is a drain on Russia and it also strengthens the perception that Europe needs NATO (thereby effectively killing criticisms against the need for NATO or any idea of an "EU army" without US). The forming of another union in Europe by UK will also strengthens the UK / US hand as it would mean more geographic isolation of Russia from Europe, and itwould mean even if France and Germany wanted to improve their economic ties with Russia, they would still have to go through the UK / US.

All the superpowers are only looking at the advantage they can gain here. Russia will not stop till it achieves its geostrategic aims in Ukraine to contain NATO goals against it. And the US and UK will make sure that Russia bleeds as much as possible during this process. The reality is that nobody gives a damn about Ukraine.
