At what point does NATO start dictating to Russia about their hostile actions towards the west. NATO should have established a timeline 2 years ago for Russia to get out of Ukraine but did not. It has cost 100's thousands of lives. Meanwhile Russia amps up its undeclared war against the west. Sabotage and influence peddling.

TAHA" – Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 Pioneering Amphibious All-Terrain Vehicle The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codified and approved the use of the amphibious all-terrain vehicle "TAHA" developed by Ukrainian engineers in units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The machine is able to work on any terrain: swamps, floodplains, and deep snow, in a temperature range from -40°C to +40°C. Thanks to its small dimensions and the ability to turn around on the spot, the all-terrain vehicle effectively maneuvers in a limited space. The vehicle can carry up to 1 ton of cargo or up to 10 passengers. Speed on land reaches 40 km/h, and on water up to 6 km/h. The all-terrain vehicle has several fuel tanks and is able to work on one gas station for more than two days. “TAHA” is already used at the front for evacuation and transportation of ammunition and food in difficult terrain conditions where other types of military equipment cannot cope.RyeODfExTmOIZWmQjkWtr6jILzSkbl2Ch9pZrBED6bN6Zzd02yrI1ooQmXOTcDEvHVniUKcI8QWt=s800-c-fcrop64=1,00000000ffffffff-rw-nd-v1

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/china-proposes-ceasefire-and-peace-talks-between-russia-and-ukraine/ar-AA1rbV4t?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=161231e9e28a450ca12e4c4428950f03&ei=85

China's position on the settlement of Russia's war against Ukraine is to immediately cease fire and sit down at the negotiating table, refraining from sanctions, according to China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi's speech at a UN Security Council meeting.

Wang Yi presented three proposals from China.

First, he emphasized the need to cease hostilities to prevent the conflict from expanding. He also highlighted the importance of avoiding the use of nuclear weapons and the targeting of nuclear facilities, such as power plants. The more weapons are sent into the conflict zone, the harder it will be to achieve a ceasefire, he said.

The Chinese representative stressed the urgent need for dialogue and negotiations, calling them the only viable way to resolve what he referred to as the "Ukrainian crisis" – Beijing’s term for Russia’s war against Ukraine. Without this, he warned, the crisis would only escalate.

Thirdly, Wang Yi urged the international community to prevent the crisis from affecting the global economy. He pointed out the need to avoid sanctions and the disruption of global trade. While he did not specify any country, his remarks were likely aimed at sanctions imposed on Russia and its supporters.

Where was China with this incredible plan, when Russia was not letting Ukrainian grain out of port?

IMHO China is playing the long game. Bleeding out the Russians in Ukraine is doing nothing but strengthening their Plan B. Plan A is taking Taiwan and Plan B is taking Siberia. China could care less about how many Ukrainians get killed.
