The US & various European nations have donated arms and other goods to Ukraine to help them fight Russia. They've sanctioned the shit out of Russia, and have generally done everything they can short of starting a nuclear war. Ukraine's done a phenomenal job fighting Russia, and Russia's showed signs of serious turmoil and heavy losses; further, they've indicated that they're going to back off from the attempted invasion of western and central Ukraine. I dislike Biden, but I would change almost nothing about the way he handled this situation.

@Driver2 That's not true, the US has been sending aid to Ukraine since 2015. Back then, it was nonlethal aid -- vehicles, radios, unarmed drones, ambulances. We started give them Javelins, RPGs, rifles, and stuff in 2019. It's true that NATO's been unwilling to donate MiG-29s, but I'm pretty sure that's because the Poles would have to fly them from Poland into Ukraine to get them there, which would be equivalent to Poland entering the war.

@Briggett They should have broken off all diplomatic and trade relations with Russia, expelled it from the UN, and threatened an immediate and devasting attack on any country that continues relations with Russia.

@Diotrephes So in other words, started a nuclear war.
