Deep dives

Historical Context of the Ukraine-Russia Conflict

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has deep historical roots, with Ukraine gaining full independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The territorial disputes intensified when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, igniting tensions that have only escalated since. In response to the ongoing aggression, Ukraine has sought NATO membership, aiming to bolster its defense capabilities, which has further aggravated Russia. The full-scale invasion ordered by Putin in 2022 marked a significant escalation, but despite early Russian advances, Ukraine has managed to reclaim territory and demonstrate resilience in the ongoing war.
