There is some simplistic questions concerning this attack. Many want to know if this is what was prophesied in Ezekiel 38, however, before you answer that you have to understand what is Ezekiel 38.
The description is very similar to the war in Armageddon but definitely has a couple of very clear differences. First, there is no mention of all the kings of the Earth but rather some very specific ones. Second, there is this weird reference to Israel living off of the scraps from this battle for 7 years, that seems very different from Armageddon, who wants to fish around for stuff under all that blood? Also, Armageddon is at the end of the Great Tribulation whereas this seven year period suggests this battle ends at the beginning of the tribulation. As a result I subscribe to the view that Ezekiel 38 is not talking about Armageddon, rather it is talking about a major event that sets the stage for the Antichrist to confirm the covenant with the many for seven years, the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy.
OK, with that as the context of what we are talking about, a war that precedes the tribulation I do believe that this battle in Ukraine leads to that. If you understand Putin's demands of Ukraine, the US and NATO you realize he is saying he wants to be top dog and he can't be top dog without controlling the Mid East. Read his demands to US and NATO and the only way they submit is to bend the knee to Putin. The only way you control countries is if you control energy, so he needs to move on to the Mid East or he needs to accept defeat. Putin has made it very clear he is all in, he is going for broke, there is no turning back for him.
