Why do you say that? Looking down, it's a little long.
First, the separation and integration of Russia and Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine belong to the Eastern Slavic nation. The word "Ukraine" first appeared in Historical Records of Ross (1 187), which means "the land on the border". In the 9th-/Kloc-0th/2nd century, they were called Russians just like the Russians in Kiev, and the concept of "border land" gradually changed the concept of geography into the concept of language and nationality. By the15th century, the Ukrainian nation had formed its own national characteristics-its own language and living area, and its own economic, political and religious characteristics.
Russians are also Russians. The reason why there is a "Russia" before the surname is because Ivan IV called himself "Tsar" in 1547, and his country name was "Russia". The ancestors of the Russians are the Eastern Slavic Ross tribe, belonging to the Europa race. They were called "Villedi" by Roman historians in the 1 th century, that is, "Ricardo Roberto Barreto da Rocha" in ancient China.
At the beginning of the AD, the Eastern Slavs still retained the clan system, and each tribe was composed of several clans. They cut down forests, level the land, engage in farming, collectively raise livestock, hunt and fish, and all matters are decided by the clan assembly. It was not until 862 AD that a monarchy with this nation as the main body appeared, because the capital was Kiev, also called Kiev Ross, and Kiev Ross was their common cradle.
/kloc-at the beginning of the 20th century, Kiev Ross continued to expand, with its territory reaching the mouth of the Volga River in the east, passing through the Crimean Peninsula to the mouth of the Danube River, starting from Lake Ladoga in the north, along the Baltic Sea coast and bordering grasslands in the south. Very prosperous, accepted the Orthodox Church and founded the Ross Code.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 3rd century, the powerful Mongol Empire invaded and established the Qincha khanate in Eastern Europe. The allied forces of Russians and other nationalities were defeated, Russians surrendered to Chincha khanate, and Kiev Ross was divided into several parts. The development focus of some Russians has shifted to Moscow in the northeast.
However, with the development of the Ross people shifting to Moscow in the northeast, it also has the meaning of "frontier". Since then, Ukraine and Russia have been divided and combined, and Ukraine has struggled to survive in a narrow gap. In order to resist the Polish invasion, 1654 adopted the Peleyaslav Agreement, and Ukraine was incorporated into the territory of the Russian Empire. After more than 300 years, Ukrainian culture gradually unified with Russia, and Ukraine joined the Soviet Union in 1922 (western Ukraine joined in 1939). After the disintegration of the Soviet Union,
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited a large number of military equipment. However, due to the total denial of the 300-year history after the merger of Russia and Ukraine, the two ethnic groups of Ukraine and Russia are opposed. From the presidential system to the parliamentary system, from the parliamentary system to the presidential system, the political situation in Ukraine has been in a state of turmoil and it is impossible to form a joint force.
Those in power completely bow to western ideology, pro-West and pro-Russia are in serious opposition, populism is rampant, and public opinion is manipulated by the West. Later, the United States, Russia and Ukraine cooperated to realize the denuclearization of the country, lost the chips of the game, and finally fell victim to the geopolitical game.
Second, strategic position.
? NATO was founded in 1949, and the US-led NATO put forward the strategy of eastward expansion in the early 1990s. Since then, the alliance has continuously expanded to 30 countries, even including former Soviet republics such as Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
Ukraine and Russia are neighboring countries and have important strategic significance. The United States has always regarded Russia as a threat since the Cold War, and wooing Ukraine can contain Russia. Why not? Russia described NATO's eastward expansion as "a threat to Russia's survival", and pro-American naturally wanted to join. Later, due to Russian-Ukrainian relations and other considerations, it came to an end for the time being.
? As the largest neighbor of southwest Russia, Ukraine is an important strategic buffer zone for Russia to face the military threat of NATO, and is almost regarded as the "last security barrier" by Russia.
Third, conflict.
During the war in eastern and southern Ukraine from February 2065438 to February 2004, pro-Russian forces in Russian-speaking areas in eastern and southern Ukraine fought against Ukrainian government forces and demanded to join Russia. Crimea declared independence after the referendum and then joined the Russian Federation, while pro-Russian people in Donetsk and Lugansk also occupied the government building and raised the Russian flag.
Therefore, after the Crimean crisis of 20 14, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine has been tense.
On February/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/day, 2022, the media reported that US President Biden said in a video conference with his European allies that the date of Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine was February/KOOC-0/6, 2006, and on February/KOOC-0/6, 2006, Russia not only did not invade but withdrew some soldiers; So US national security adviser Sullivan said that Russia may "invade" Ukraine before February 20, calling on American citizens to leave Ukraine in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Now Ukraine can't hold on at all Russia hasn't called yet, but they took the initiative to fire. Did the West really give them so much courage? I don't want to think about the sinister intentions. I'm watching the fun over there. I have no excuse to worry and I am not afraid to play by myself.
