Introduction

The tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate. Russia has deployed its soldiers and tanks

in the separatist areas of Ukraine.

In the name of 'Peacekeeping.'

The civilians of Ukraine, the common people are now being given training for bearing arms.

Because of the threat of an impending war.

On 24th February, the war has broken out.

"Gunfire and explosions have been heard here,

and in the second city of Kyiv. Shortly after the Russian President, Vladimir Putin announced the move

in an unscheduled TV address,

he said that Russia would bring in troops,

he told the Ukrainian troops to lay down arms and go home.

Any attempt to interfere with this Russian action

would lead to consequences they have never seen.

After Russian troops were told to lay down the arms,

social media became a

"window into the reality"

showing the impact of what appear to be missiles being launched into Ukraine."

10th November 2021 recall part 1

The situation has been worsening for the last many months,

on 10th November 2021, the news broke out for the first time, that

Russia has started deploying its military soldiers to Ukraine's border.

By 28th November, it has become clear,

that more than 100,000 Russian troops were present on Ukraine's border.

And that they could attack at any time between mid-January to early February.

By December, the news had reached the US Intelligence.

Leading to a warning by US President Joe Biden to the Russian authorities.

President Joe Biden's warning to Russian authorities

He said that if there was any invasion into Ukraine of any kind, Russia would have to face severe repercussions. 

"He told President Putin directly that if Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States and our European Allies would respond with strong economic measures.

The US Intelligence Agencies claimed that on 16th February, Russia will declare war on Ukraine.

But nothing happened on 16th February. This was widely mocked by the Russian authorities.

Saying that America always spouts nonsense

and that they wouldn't have done anything,

and that America was simply creating a sensation.

The breakout of fake news

A day later, the news broke out that Russia was withdrawing its soldiers. Russia was apparently deescalating. But this news turned out to be fake. Experts believe that actually, China had put pressure on Russia that Russia waits till the end of the Beijing Olympics.

China didn't want a war to be declared

causing interruptions in the Beijing Olympics.

They didn't want China's image to be hampered. This theory sounds weird but 20th February was the last day of the Beijing Olympics, and on the next day, on 21st February, Putin gives this address on television.

Putin's address on television

Putin addresses the entire world and says

that

"there are two separatist areas in Eastern Ukraine."

They now recognise the separatist areas as independent countries.

"After a day of lashing out at NATO,

Putin made an explosive announcement on state television."

"I think it is necessary to make a long overdue decision, to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic. "

The names of the two regions are Donetsk and Luhansk.

Map visualization: See the screenshot above

The actual boundary of Ukraine according to the United Nations, looks like this from the outside.

In eastern Ukraine, lies the regions Donetsk and Luhansk.

They're special because some areas of Donetsk and Luhansk are actually controlled by separatists.

They are not under the control of the Ukrainian Government. These areas lie on the Russian border.

And are actually known as Russian occupied.

But what kind of help?

By giving them military support, financial support as much as providing Covid vaccines to them. The 800,000 people living here were issued Russian passports by Russia.

To stop the tensions and foster peace in these areas, the Minsk Agreement was signed in 2015.

According to that, Ukraine had to provide special status to these regions.

To give them a certain degree of autonomy.

They had to acknowledge the governments of the areas.

And it was promised that there would be no more riots,

no weapons would be used, and the foreign presence in this area would be eradicated.

But why?

Because Putin said that Russia considers those areas as independent countries,

and now that Putin has sent his army to those areas,

it is now being called an invasion.

Putin's action has caused the Minsk Agreement to be Null and Void.

The threat, now, is that Putin wouldn't stop here.

The European countries and the USA fear that

Putin is trying to capture Ukraine's entire country.

I would like to point out one important thing here,

since the Soviet Union has broken apart,

after every 6-7 years, Russia does such things

to its neighboring countries.

Russia occupied Crimea

Russia occupied Crimea. This was the same year when

the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk have broken apart from Ukraine.

Russia supported the separatists there.

They sent their military there and the war that broke out led to new boundary lines being drawn.

In these separatist-controlled areas, Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic,

the separatist people there decided to form their own countries.

While doing so, they called for an unofficial referendum in these areas.

After that, Russia has tried to help these two separatist areas as much as possible.

The solution?

Seeing Russia do this, the rest of the world has three main options.

The first is that they do nothing about it.

But then the danger is that if Russia is allowed to occupy Ukraine today,

tomorrow, Russia may say that they want Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Slovakia, Croatia back.

They continue expanding by invading all of them.

If such imperialism isn't stopped,

someday or the other, we will be under attack too.

The second option

The second option is that the countries use their military and send their armies to the locations Russia is invading, stopping the Russian forces by literally fighting with them.

But this isn't a good option, because doing so would mean literally declaring World War.

And thankfully, most of the countries today don't want to fight or go to war.

Because that just leads to bloodshed loss of human lives and there can be no positive result of that.

Putin isn't that great of a dictator on his own.

And on Russian billionaires.

Because many countries know Putin isn't that great of a dictator on his own.

Putin comes under the influence of the Russian Oligarchs, i.e., the Russian billionaires too.

The UK has targetted five Russian banks, the United Nations has also condemned this.

And perhaps the most important economic sanction was from Germany.

Germany has stopped the certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

This is a big step.

What are the other options?

The third option is economic sanctions.

Economically, if others try to isolate Russia,

to attack Russia economically.

To attack their money.

The US and its allies have coordinated the first round of sanctions against Russia.

Over its troop deployment to breakaway regions of Ukraine. The US, Europe, Canada, Japan,

many countries have already declared economic sanctions against Russia.

And have said that if Russia takes any further steps towards an invasion, more economic sanctions would be declared.

They attacked the Russian banks first.

43 reads

But why is it a big step for Germany?

More than 50% of Germany's gas supply comes from Russia.

To take such a step means that Germany is interrupting its own gas supply it means that the gas prices in Germany would rise rapidly.

This is the thing about economic sanctions, when some other country is isolated, when you try to attack economically, it affects your country too.

And this is the deciding factor: The level of negative effects on the economy a country can bear 

to teach a lesson to another country.
