The photo of a woman with bandages and bleeding on her head went around the world and was on several websites and newspapers in the last few days. After 13 days of the beginning of the conflict, Russia controls some regions of Ukraine located close to the borders, from where the attacks started, and begins to enter the territory. Although the last few days have been marked by many bombings and conflicts, the capital Kiev remains under Ukrainian control.

In Kiev, part of the population went to subway stations and bomb shelters, while another part tried to leave the city. Countries like Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania and Moldova said they expect a wave of refugees from Ukraine. ]]> 2022-03-20 23:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2104144766 Fact intersting pedrinhoneto2005 https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2104146036 1. Russians and Ukrainians have the same origin.
 The Ukrainian, Russian and also Belarusian populations share common ancestors: the Slavic peoples of the east. Around the 9th century AD, they formed a medieval state, called Kievan Rus, whose seat was exactly where Ukraine's capital, Kiev, now stands. Despite these close ties, over time a cultural and ethnic differentiation was built - which is seen mainly through the language, for example. Although similar, today there are different language systems for Russian and Ukrainian.

Throughout the history of Eastern Europe, the peoples present there underwent a series of conflicts, domination and local hegemonies. In the case of Ukraine, the territory has always been under the rule of some other people — the country was once part of Poland and Lithuania and, in the 18th century, a large portion was annexed to the Russian Empire.

The Crimean Peninsula, located in southern Ukraine and surrounded by the Black and Azov seas, was not inhabited by Russians or ethnic Ukrainians, but by Tatars, people of Turkish origin. After the war between the then Russian and Ottoman empires, the region was annexed in 1783 to Russian territory and has been controlled by the country since then. ]]> 2022-03-20 23:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2104148707 Fact intersting pedrinhoneto2005 https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2104149294 4. Conflicts intensify.
 From the 2000s onwards, tensions became more critical – including in relation to other republics of the former USSR. “A series of fights between Russia and the former Soviet states are on the one hand motivated by these differences between ethnic groups in the republics and, at the same time, the interest of some peoples in maintaining their autonomy in relation to Moscow”, says César de Albuquerque . Russia, for wanting to rescue its international influence, as it was at the height of the Cold War, still sees Crimea as an important territory for its sphere of influence in the geopolitical game. Ukraine, in turn, is divided.

Throughout the entire period of Russian Crimea rule, there were several waves of population migration, whether voluntary or involuntary. These processes created a complex network of foreign peoples there. "Populations were forcibly removed from certain territories; others migrated and joined in territories with different ethnic minorities", reports the USP researcher. ]]> 2022-03-20 23:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2104150181 pedrinhoneto2005 https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2127131167 2022-04-03 12:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2127131167 Russia pedrinhoneto2005 https://padlet.com/pedrinhoneto2005/6x763598rzvr3an/wish/2127134348 Official language: Russian
