In principle, it is generally clear:
From the US perspective, Russia's war against Ukraine is a war against NATO (although they want to avoid this specificity).
From China's point of view, it is a war against the United States.
From the point of view of NATO and the EU, it is a war against Ukraine and (possibly) the countries bordering the aggressor.
From the Russian position, this is a war against the US, NATO, the EU, the Council of Europe, LGBT+, Hollywood, etc. And against Russia's phantom pains and geopolitical stupidity. How they would like not to admit that in their imagination they are at war with one force, but in reality they are attacking neighboring, "brotherly" Ukraine.
From Ukraine's perspective alone, this is a war for the survival and development of Ukraine, as well as the EU and NATO.
Until the opinions somehow come together, it will be useless. The war can be ended only if we bring together an understanding of its real causes and future consequences...
