Something I found significant is that Putin says that Ukraine is part of Russia, linguistically and politically. Something I found troubling was that if all-out war broke out between the countries, tens of thousands of people could die, and up to 5 million refugees, according to estimates.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that Russia claiming Ukraine as their own significant. Something interesting I found was that Ukraine doesn't find the threat of Russia any more significant than from the last few years. Something trouble some is the fact that Putin is moving forces near the border of Russia.

# data[].attributes.body
Something interesting is that Putin is sending troops to the border of Russia and Ukraine and began mobilizing. However, he denies all these.

# data[].attributes.body
S- NATO declared that they might offer membership to Ukraine some day in the future, which is a problem for Russia. This is significant because NATO is a military alliance between many countries, that Russia is apart of. Russia and Ukraine have had year-long conflicts which is why this wouldn't work out. This would bring more problems for both countries.
I- 150,00 Russian troops are circled around three sides of Ukraine. This is interesting because this shows that a greater conflict might actually occur.
T- Russia is threatening to bring the US into this conflict. This is troublesome because if Russia truly does bring the US into all of this, an actual war will break through.

# data[].attributes.body
Something interesting is that Russia is not only using brute force but are also using cyber attacks and propaganda against Ukraine to try to "Stir Up Tensions".

# data[].attributes.body
S- Putin sees NATO and democracy as a threat
I- Putin doesn't see Ukraine as an independent country.
T- Russia claims that it does not plan to invade Ukraine, yet it has troops around Ukraine and is prepared to invade.

# data[].attributes.body
Something troubling:
President Zelensky is downplaying the dangers of Russia's invasion. Ukrainian's are just going about everyday without knowing the potential the Russian's invasion may cause. When or if Russia does invade, Ukrainians would not expect or know what to do in that situation.

# data[].attributes.body
While reading this article I did find something interesting. What I found interesting was this line from the article "In an article penned in July 2021, Putin underlined their shared history, describing Russians and Ukrainians as "one people."" The leader of Russia Vladimir Putin looks at Ukraine as a part of them. He does not see them as an independent state. Putin says that Ukraine should be pro Russia.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting that Putin is rather choosing to strategize against Ukraine than using violence to settle their conflicting opinions. In addition, Putin claims that it is the U.S. that is bringing violence to his nation, and not his people "deploying missiles" to there.

# data[].attributes.body
S- Everything started when Ukraine voted for independence in 1991. NATO offered membership to Ukraine, which Russia sees NATO's expansion as a threat. Ukraine is independent, but Putin has said many times that he sees Russia and Ukraine as one.
I- All different Russian and Ukrainian people have different opinions on where they belong.
T- War could just break out at any day at any minute.

# data[].attributes.body
S - The conflict in Ukraine and Russia had started a while ago now, and it's not just very recent.
I - Ukraine isn't associated with NATO, yet the NATO countries are trying their best to help with Ukraine's security.
T - Putin's words aren't going with his actions, he's basically lying about what he's going to do.

# data[].attributes.body
S- Putin has managed to ratchet up pressure on the West for months without ever firing a shot or rolling a tank across its border with Ukraine.

I- Russia responded by annexing the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and fomenting a separatist rebellion in Ukraine's east, which seized control of part of the Donbas region.

T-  Nearly 14,000 people have died in the conflict, and there are 1.5 million people internally displaced in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian government.

# data[].attributes.body
troublesome -
"Are we deploying missiles near the US border? No, we are not. It is the United States that has come to our home with its missiles and is already standing at our doorstep."

this was troublesome to me because US is going into russia and getting ready to fight, and as a civilian, its really scary

# data[].attributes.body
Something I noticed that seems troubling is how little both sides have moved and so many people lost their lives. Nearly 14,000 people died in the conflict, and there are 1.5 million people internally displaced in Ukraine.

# data[].attributes.body
Something troublesome to me is that if Russia does plan on invading Ukraine, Ukraine would be outmatched. According to research, they have estimated that tens of thousands of civilians can die as well as up to 5-million made refugees if Russia invades and a war breaks out between both countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Something significant:
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has become such a big threat that the US is getting involved. Even though Ukraine has gained their independence, Russia still believes that Ukraine still belongs to them.

# data[].attributes.body
S) Putin states that Russia and Ukraine are "one people" through language and culture while also sharing similar politics.
I think it is significant that the Russian government still believes Ukraine is part of Russian territory while it has been independent since the soviet union.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found troubling was that if Russia did invade Ukraine, enormous amounts of lives would be lost, According to the CNN article it stated, "If an all-out war broke out between the two countries, tens of thousands of civilians could die and up to 5 million made refugees, according to some estimates." This is troublesome because it's not even clear whether or not Ukraine would be part of Russia meaning if a war did breakout and Russia didn't end up getting Ukraine, all those lives would've been lost for nothing.

# data[].attributes.body
S- Nearly 14,000 people have died in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
I- Russia seized control of part of the Donbas region by annexing  the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
T- More than 150,000 Russian troops now encircle Ukraine.

# data[].attributes.body
Something significant was that this whole conflict between Russia and Ukraine is based on nationalism. Putin, the president of Russia, views the Ukraine as theirs "culturally, linguistically, and politically." However, most of a nationalist population in Ukraine believes that Ukraine is a more independent country, which outweighed the people who side with Putin.

# data[].attributes.body
Significant:  Something significant I found in the article is the way Putin sees both Russians and Ukrainians as "one people" because of their similar culture, language, and politics.

# data[].attributes.body
S- This whole conflict didn't just start right now, it started a year ago.
I- How America and NATO got drawn into this conflict even though it was none of their business.
T- There is so much tension between these two countries that it only need one things to snap and everything will start to unfold.

# data[].attributes.body
Something significant from the article is when it talks about the military threat, where Russia has assembled thousands of troops and established new bases near the border of Ukraine.

# data[].attributes.body
S- something significant was that nearly 14,000 people have died in the conflict, and there are 1.5 million people internally displaced in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian government.

# data[].attributes.body
It is troublesome: that Ukraine basically can´t do anything to defend against Russia as they don´t have allies that will send troops to help them. As Russia is now ready to attack and there is not really anything that can be done so it just will be a one-sided massacre.

# data[].attributes.body
Something significant I found in this article is how Russia is bending events and facts happening to benefit them, making Russia look like the victim. In addition, Russia is not revealing their plans to the public, they may be using hybrid warfare, meaning using propaganda to pressure Ukraine and the U.S. This is significant because Russia might not be planning to invade Ukraine yet but is taking advantage of the propaganda to take them one step closer to their goals.

# data[].attributes.body
T: I thought that it was very troublesome that more than 150,000 Russian troops surround Ukraine. Having that many troops circle an area at once is concerning because they could attack and invade at any moment. Putin already puts up a lot of tension and pressure on the border which may be more worrisome. Putin has also implied that Ukraine is his since they have similar history, culture, and people which is troublesome as well since he already views them as his own and invading them could be a step closer to fully calling them Russia.

# data[].attributes.body
Significant: Putin sees Ukraine possibly joining forces with NATO as a hostile act
Interesting: He claims that he sees Ukraine as a part of Russia, despite Ukraine being an independent country. He described them as "one people."
Troubling: While some people may be inclined to agree with him, some nationalist Ukrainians are more inclined align with NATO or the European Union.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found troublesome is when the article says that this escalation of conflict between Russia and Ukraine triggered "the greatest security crisis on the continent since the Cold War..." Not only does this trouble Europe, but it also involves the U.S., therefore, threatening our security as well.

# data[].attributes.body
S- Something that was significant to me was that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has triggered the greatest security threat on the continent since the Cold War.

I- Something that was interesting to me was that NATO has added 3 former Soviet Baltic republics and those republics are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

T- Something that was troublesome to me was that 1,400 have died during the conflict and 1.5 million have been displaced in Ukraine.

# data[].attributes.body
S- Russia and Ukraine have not seen a stable peace with each other even though they both signed a ceasefire agreement in 2015.

I- Ukraine is carrying out a "genocide" against Russia according to Putin.

T- "Putin has responded in blunt terms by saying that regardless of whether Zelensky likes the plan, it must be implemented."

# data[].attributes.body
S: 150,000+ troops are stationed around Ukraine " like a horseshoe on three sides".
I: During a mass protest, Ukrainians forced out a Russian-friendly president due to a conflict between the people and him. Russia had responded with annexing the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimmea and fomenting a separatist rebellion in Ukraine's East that seized control of part of the Donbas region.
T: Moscow had continuously denied the fact that they were planning an assault. They would insist that NATO support for Ukraine constitutes a growing threat on Russia's western flank.
