Russian-Ukrainian relations
The deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations can be traced back to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Ukraine's declaration of independence. Russia has been trying to regard Ukraine as its sphere of influence. Ukraine, on the other hand, tried to seek closer ties and partners, which led to tension between the two countries.
20 14 Russia tries to bring Ukraine into its sphere of influence, while Ukraine tries to strengthen its ties with the EU and NATO. This led to Russia's military intervention in Ukraine and territorial disputes.
Crimea issue
The Crimean issue is an important part of the situation in Ukraine. In 20 14, Russia occupied the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine and merged into Russia. This triggered a strong reaction from Ukraine and the international community, and many countries imposed economic sanctions on Russia.
The Crimean issue also led to pro-Russian demonstrations and armed conflicts in eastern Ukraine. These conflicts have caused thousands of casualties and displacements.
Pro-Russian demonstration
Another important factor in the situation in Ukraine is the pro-Russian demonstrations. 20 14 Pro-Russian demonstrations in eastern Ukraine are gradually increasing, and demonstrators demand that the Ukrainian government establish closer ties with Russia. These demonstrations gradually turned into armed conflicts, resulting in many casualties and displacement.
Pro-Russian demonstrations have also led to a sharp deterioration in relations between the Ukrainian government and Russia. Russia's intervention in Ukraine and its support for pro-Russian armed forces led to the dissatisfaction and protest of the Ukrainian government.
