From the traditional viewpoint, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is a bilateral conflict that only involves two countries engaged in military combat. It is an open secret, however, that multiple nations
from at least four continents are participants in this war, playing various roles that make us pause and think if, from the point of view of the modern world, we are already in the midst of another world war.
On the side of Ukraine, it is receiving aid from the multiple countries, which are members of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , in addition to Australia and Canada. These aids are in the form of military equipment and ammunition, technological support, military intelligence, and financial assistance. On its own, the United States has been providing tens of billions of dollars in military and other forms of aid to Ukraine.
The means and capacity of countries to wage war—especially a world war—has evolved and expanded in the modern era, however. Countries go to war, waging not just military battles, but employing a slew of modern arsenals of war such as economic embargoes, financial sanctions, cyber warfare, even tourism bans, and other nonmilitary capabilities that can be wielded to incapacitate or weaken an enemy-country.
No side of the current war, inclusive of the other nations supporting the two warring countries, has clear military advantage because of the threat of nuclear war that each side wields. But the western countries supportive of Ukraine have the edge on the nonmilitary arsenals of war.
