First, NATO is a US controlled organization, and big moves are US imperialism rather than NATO as an organization. NATO members are even more oppressed than NATO enemies.

The origins of Ukraine war provocation on Russia are in the US led coup of 2014, and subsequent pupettry of Ukraine. The US and NATO vassals have fully admitted to building up Ukraine for war in 2014, and in considering it an essential strategic objective to perpetuate the war.

US/NATO aggression towards Russia was more about colonizing former eastern block countries whose hatred and resentment could be harvested, but still clearly a buildup to current situation.

It is obvious that US/NATO has demonic hatred and diminishment ambitions against Russia. The links between wishes and military actions against Russia is also obviously direct.

Perhaps a technicality, but the US is directly bombing Russia through the recent ATACMs strikes. These require US soldiers and US GPS infrastructure to operate.
