Who's is sending weapons to Ukraine for free ? Who is putting military base around the country ? Who's putting "defensive" missile launcher around the country ?

It is not just Russia VS Ukraine.

All of this is irrelevant.

Yes. Yes it is. Russian soldiers are shooting at Ukrainian soldiers, and Ukrainian soldiers are shooting at Russian soldiers. That's it. No NATO soldiers are shooting at or being shot at by anyone. Because NATO is not a party in this war. Russia and Ukraine are.

>Russian soldiers are shooting at Ukrainian soldiers, and Ukrainian soldiers are shooting at Russian soldiers. That's it.

This is a gross oversimplification given that most soldiers don't do any shooting at all.

If NATO was at war with Russia, it would be absolutely clear for everyone.

Iran and North Korea help Russia with military supplies, and there is no question if Ukraine is at war with them.

Countries tend to help their friends during war.

> no question if Ukraine is at war with them

Of course there is a question. The whole point is that "at war" isn't a binary state, hence "who is doing the shooting" being a gross oversimplification.
