It is a war of empire between an authoritarian state and a nazi-sympathizing state. The only positive remotely viable outcome for this would be that the entirety of the international community push both countries towards negotiation and reconciliation.

My only sympathies lie with the Ukrainian people who are being invaded and will be subject to hardship in the coming months, and the Russian people who will have to bear the brunt of the sanctions imposed on Russia while Putin can carry on enjoying his miserable life.
