NATO venue
Recently, NATO Secretary-General said that NATO member states will continue to strengthen military support to Ukraine. Subsequently, the UK announced that it would provide helicopters to Ukraine for the first time. In response to the Western further military aid to Ukraine, Russian President Putin has ordered a re-listing of the weapons and equipment technology list required for special military operations, and all military production activities serve the Russian-Ukrainian war.
NATO Secretary-General Steultenberg recently said when attending the NATO Parliamentary Conference in Spain that NATO's military aid to Ukraine will continue. He also claimed that at the NATO summit next year, NATO may set the target of defense spending among countries higher than it is currently available. British Defense Secretary Wallace later announced to the public that the UK would provide Ukraine with the "Sea King" helicopters, which is the first time that Britain has provided helicopters to Ukraine since the war between Russia and Ukraine. Amid the tide of the West's continued aid to Ukraine, Putin ordered the suspension of Russia's national arms plan to invest 20 trillion rubles and promote the promotion, and tilt resources towards the Russian military's special military operations, and all military production activities face the Russian-Ukraine war. Regarding the arms competition between NATO and Russia, netizens can't help but wonder whether the two sides are preparing to fight a protracted war? I have the following three views on this.

First of all, NATO continues to aid Ukraine and force Russia to prepare for a protracted war. Before the war between Russia and Ukraine began, the outside world speculated that Russia would take Ukraine at lightning speed. However, as the war progressed, people discovered that Ukraine was not as fragile as imagined, but fought back and forth with Russia. All this was because of NATO's continuous military aid to Ukraine. The United States alone has provided more than US$20 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, and there are also various weapons and equipment. Due to the long-term economic blockade of Western countries, Russia can only invest limited funds in key strategic weapons and equipment, which has led to frequent failures in the battlefield where the Russian army uses conventional weapons . NATO recently announced that it will continue to aid Ukraine. In order to resist the eastward expansion of , NATO and its defense, Russia has to prepare for a protracted war.
Secondly, Russia is still strong. From NATO's perspective, the purpose of planning the Russian-Ukrainian war is to weaken Russia. But after the Russian-Ukraine war lasted for more than nine months, the Russian army withdrew from the Khlsong area, and NATO thought it had defeated the Russian army. However, after withdrawing from Khlsson, the Russian army concentrated more troops to attack the Donbas area, and even dropped 85 missiles into Ukraine in the near future, blowing up important infrastructure in Ukraine. In addition, the Russian army has more than 200,000 troops to complete training and put it into the battlefield. Not only that, Putin also announced that Russia would suspend its preparations for a 10-year military plan to invest 20 trillion rubles to serve the Russian-Ukrainian war. NATO, especially the United States, has always had the goal of completely dragging down Russia by using the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the Russian army's protracted war situation is exactly what the United States wants.

Finally, Zelensky intends to keep the war on. For Ukraine, Russia is the invader, and its own side must drive the invaders out of the country. Zelensky has always been tough on Russia, which may be the reason why he can still get support from the Ukrainian people in the long-term Russian-Ukrainian war. In addition, a large number of officials in the Ukrainian government believe that the Ukrainian side can force the Russian army to withdraw from the Khlsun area means that the Ukrainian army has gained an advantage in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and at this time the war should be continued until the Russians are completely driven out of Ukraine and the final victory is won. It is precisely based on the support of Ukrainian people and officials that Zelensky has been planning to continue the war and even tried to pull NATO into the water.
Ukrainian President Zelensky
In short, before NATO, Russia and Ukraine achieve their goals, the several sides must be prepared for a protracted war.Due to NATO's continued military aid, Russia has been unable to seize Ukraine for a long time and achieves its goal of resisting NATO's eastward expansion. NATO and Britain's recent aid to Ukraine has forced Russia to prepare for a protracted war. The lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Russian-Ukraine war in the past year did not achieve the goal of weakening Russia, and NATO could only further aid Ukraine until it eventually dragged down Russia. Based on the desire of the domestic people to eliminate the invaders and the support of some officials, Zelensky wanted to continue the war until the war was won. However, the ongoing war will only hurt ordinary people. I hope that all parties can put aside their prejudices, go to the negotiating table as soon as possible, end the war, and restore the warmth of peace among the Ukrainian people.
