Russian President Vladimir Putin's propagandists issued a new warning this week that the war in Ukraine will soon turn into a direct conflict with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is supplying Ukraine with military aid to fend off Putin's troops.
Nearly eight weeks have passed since Putin launched his unprovoked, illegal, and genocidal invasion of Ukraine. His forces have suffered tremendous losses at the hands of Ukrainian resistance fighters and speculation has abounded about how far Putin will go to achieve his objectives.
