What's The Reason For Ukraine-russia Conflict? Here's What You Should Know by Gistchannel: 2:58pm On Feb 24, 2022 |
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation against Ukraine on February 24. The forces invaded Ukraine from several directions and this is being seen as the beginning of war in Europe over Russia's demands for an end to NATO's eastward expansion. Putin denied for months that he was planning an invasion. However, today, in a televised speech, he declared that he had ordered "a special military operation" to protect Russian citizens who had been subjected to "genocide" in Ukraine. Historical backdrop The tensions between Russia and Ukraine go years back. However, tensions escalated in 2021 when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged US President Joe Biden to let Ukraine join NATO. Ukraine is a democratic country of 44 million people, with over 1,000 years of history. It also happens to be the biggest country in Europe by area after Russia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, it voted for independence from Moscow. Putin deems Ukraine as an artificial creation carved from Russia by enemies. He has also described Ukraine as a puppet of the West. Zelensky's request to be a part of NATO angered Russia and it started placing troops near the Ukraine border. On November 10, 2021, the US reported unusual Russian troop movements near the Ukrainian border. On November 28, Ukraine said Russia is massing nearly 92,000 troops for an offensive at the end of January or early February. However, Moscow denied it and accused Kyiv of a military build-up of its own. In December, President Biden warned of severe sanctions if Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin has constantly demanded guarantees from the West and Ukraine that it will not join NATO. 2014 invasion This is not the first time that tensions have mounted between Russia and Ukraine. Russia had invaded Ukraine in 2014 and annexed its Crimean peninsula.

christistruth01: Try not to take everything the media tells you as being true. Study history yourself and you'd see the justification behind the invasion. A pact was reached where areas near Russian border ought not to be occupied by the US led NATO. If USA wouldn't allow Russia have its base near it, why should Russia allow USA to have it's own base just at its border?? Just think logically and read what happened to Cuba when Russia had a base there. History never lies... I'm not justifying the invasion of any sovereign nation but the USA has been doing that to several countries, why the noise when Russia does the same? Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan to mention but a few. Think sir, just think. I've been a pro-Us all my life but after reading the plans and actions of Gaddafi before he was killed, I realised there's actually something wrong with the USA and not with Gaddafi. 4 Likes |

Ukraine Joining NATO means Russia will be vulnerable to external forces, spying on nuclear weapons, access to Russias secrecy and illegal immigration activities which will pave way for some Europeans to access Russia and Russia don’t want that. Allies are warn not to interfere but humanity come first that is why UN is calling on Puttin to call off the strike in the name of Humanity. That’s the interest of Russia.

Christistruth00: Ukrainian soldiers are leaving their positions. Ukrainian air defences are down already. Nuclear plant captured... what else is Ukraine fighting for? Ukraine has lost the war in less than 24hrs Only time will tell bro. Russia has decided to throw it all in damning the consequences. China is flying over Taiwan's airspace with the hope of attacking as well. Don't be surprised North Korea has plans to invade South Korea depending on what plays out with Russia. It's going to be an interesting year |
