Were not actually in the war with Russia was always sort of a Talmudist technicality type thing. The US and EU were always pretty much in the war.
But now this weird technicality has gotten ridiculous. The Ukraine is basically just a mercenary army paid by US/NATO to go to war with Russia.
The West has said that the goal of the operation is to either overthrow the government of Russia, or to cripple the country so they dont have any ability to defend themselves in the future.
