Never fully independent until the collapse of the Soviet Union. According to an article from  History.com in Oct. 5 2022.

  • Ukraine has been divided up and stuck back together several times. (Fittingly, the name “Ukraine” means “on the edge” or “borderland,”
  • Putin wants to reestablish a Russian empire and at the same time prevent a democratic system around Russia
  • Fighting and air strikes have influenced over 30,000 civilians, while 3.7 million people are internally displaced, and 6.5 million have escaped Ukraine.
  • Ukraine became independent from the Soviet Union (present Russia) after the Cold War. (“How has the world reacted to Russias invasion of Ukraine”)

There are 675.000 more refugees in on months escaping Ukraine than refugees escaping Afghanistan in a year (“What caused the war and what part does Russia have in it?”)]]> 2024-03-13 20:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/240762_11/3avgpt984sxsc726/wish/2917814460 240762_11 https://padlet.com/240762_11/3avgpt984sxsc726/wish/2917961728 The video above from The Economist explains the reasons behind Russias invasion and the two countries shared past. 

  • Geopolitical Influence: Ukraine's placement between Eastern Europe and Western Asia makes it a very important battleground for influence from western powers and Russia. It’s also a transit country which means that Ukraine has energy pipelines which adds to the geopolitical influence.

  •  Security Concerns: Russia is afraid surveillance from western countries. Because of territorial reasons Russia is extra alert and that is also part of the main reason. Russias having conflict with Ukraine. 

  •  Domestic Politics: Ukraine has experienced periods of political instability and conflict, events happen like the Orange Revolution etc.

  • The Ukraine conflict can be related to WW2 when Germany took control over other countries just like Russia is doing right now in Ukraine.

  • How does Western dependence on Russian energy influence reactions to the Ukraine conflict?
  • What challenges do neighboring countries face as they receive Ukrainian refugees, and how does this affect regional relations?
  • What can we learn about refugee crises globally by looking at the experiences of Ukrainian refugees?

    Western Europe rely on Russian energy which affects responses badly to the Ukraine conflict. Neighbor countries struggle with Ukrainian refugee, affecting regional relationships. Ukrainian refugee experience a lot of emphasizing global which is very positive for the situation. the refugees need help and support from host nations. If this war last much longer some people are probably never going to return back home. Which will have a major effect on society.]]>     2024-03-20 17:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/240762_11/3avgpt984sxsc726/wish/2927198335     240762_11 https://padlet.com/240762_11/3avgpt984sxsc726/wish/2927732372 The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for a long time with lots of historical roots going all the way back to year 1000. In more recent years, the situation has worsened a lot with Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014. The current war has resulted in multiple human right violations. Here are some main points about the situation

    How has multiple human rights been violated by Russia and how come the rest of Europe do nothing?

    • Displacement and Separation: 1000 of Ukrainians have escaped their homes and have been forced to become refugees, resulting in them being separated from their families. 

    • Targeting of Civilians: Civilians, such as women and children, have been targeted by both Ukrainian and Russian forces. News station report lots of deaths and injuries among civilians.

    • Military: because Ukraine is not in the European Union rest of Europe can’t help them therefore Ukraine must be by themselves when that is said rest of Europe still helps with military care packages helping refugees and lots more.

    • Human Rights: Human rights being broken. The current situation between Israel and Palestinian can relate to the Ukraine soruation. Lots of broken laws have been reported. including arbitrary torture, and killings of civilian. (U.S embassy)

    Overall the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to thousands of suffering civilians and lots of consequences for Ukraine. Russias political position makes it hard for west Europe to take action and help Ukraine without starting a WW3
