2) What solution(s) do you propose?
3)What specific action(s) can you and your peers realistically take to contribute to the solution?
4) Why is this crisis important to learn about?]]> 2022-02-28 00:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2068568726 Cooper https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072046880 1)They voted to be a independent country in december, of 1991.
2)I say they could just tell them they could lose their allies and no one would help them.
3)we could stop supporting them with supplies, goods and more.
4)It is important to learn about because this is a crisis that could lead up to something bigger.]]> 2022-03-01 18:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072046880 Max https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072369135 1)Ukraine has been wanting to join Nato but Russia will not allow Nato to expand eastwards to Ukraine. Russia has also committed hundreds of war crimes in Ukraine.
2)  Russia is put on heavy sanctions by Nato. This could affect their economy by a lot. Therefore they are forced to stop.
3)We could spread awareness on the situation and could get peoples attention. 
4) This situation is important to stay aware of because small conflicts could lead to bigger problems that can affect the globe.]]> 2022-03-01 21:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072369135 Lucas https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072369234 1) President Zelenskyy (Ukraines President) thinks that Russians are firing at locations that they don't even know for example parks, they are affecting more than the ones they are after, they are attacking innocent people.
2)  A solution I'd propose is to give Russia something to possibly make them stop attacking, it sounds silly but a peace offering could work if Putin was to accept it.
3) We could defend Ukraine from Russia since Russia is the ones in the wrong here, because they are invading.  We could support Ukraine online as well and we should change people's point of view on this situation.
4) This crisis is important to learn about because we need to know that in life, the smallest things can cause some of the biggest controversies ever worldwide.

2. A solution that I would propose would be to withdraw from the invasion, as it will cause a war and Russia will lose most of their connections and economy because of it.
3. Actions that could be taken are spreading awareness of the situation, because people could have invested in Russia and its businesses, and it can affect you and your stock as well.
4. This is important because overall it will impact other countries and their economy as well. Since they are all interconnected, everyone is going to be affected by this in someway.]]> 2022-03-01 21:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072371705 Riley https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072372098 1) Ukraine wanted to be an independent country from other countries in December 1991.
2) I would say that in order to help make peace with all the countries, I would tell Russia to stop attacking, and ask Ukraine for something that they want because they shouldn't start an entire conflict because they didn't ask for something.
3)We could stop helping any of the sides, and keep telling them to stop fighting and just talk it out.
4)This crisis is important because this could lead to bigger problems so they should stop right now so that they don't have to have a larger conflict]]> 2022-03-01 21:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072372098 Dorian dlarson1009 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072372105 1)Ukraine officially declared itself an independent country on 24 August 1991, when the communist party/Soviet Union collapsed which there we in  and they earned there independence  
2) one solution is to hold on to your country and defend becues they have been doing great at that no major city and not many casualties them then when russia is low either take it over with nato or sign a peace treaty
3) we could sent care packages to the soldiers in ukraine
4)this is good to learn about becues we could stud the russians attack so we can counter attack them later ]]> 2022-03-01 21:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072372105 Noah https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072372113 1. I learned that Ukraine is being attacked for being associated with a peace treaty involving the USA, Canada and other countries called NATO. Russia is attacking them for that reason.

2) I think someone should kill Putin because he's the main instruction and power towards his troops so with him dead, I think it would save lots of innocent lives.
3) I could protest and share positive messages with people in both Ukraine and Russia so it might make them feel a little better.

I learned that NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Ukraine was to become a member of NATO as soon as it reached NATO standards for governance and transparency. It hasn't done that yet, but the Russian aggression against the move was strong. Article 5 of NATO's treaty is extremely vague on an armed response to an attack on any one of its countries. Even though Ukraine has not completely joined NATO yet, it has effectively made it under NATO's protection. NATO has only ever actually invoked Article 5 of its treaty once, about 24 hours after the September 11th attacks in order to support the United States. It also has current active operations.

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO  was designed to be defensive force against the soviet union   
2)A solution that could work is trying to convince the Russian president, or they could do a peace treaty.
3) Some actions we could do that will realistically contribute to the solution is by helping to donate money and weapons and other items they need.

2) A solution that could work is that Russia and Ukraine can tried to work things out or make and a agreement and be at peace instead of turning the whole situation into a war.
3) Some actions that we could do is spread awareness on the situaton and tried to defend Ukraine from Russia since Russia invaded Ukraine.

2)A solution I propose in order to stop the tension between the two nations at the moment is to perhaps have the problem talked out, it's worth a try to talk it out instead of having lives at risk and death of others.
3)We can support what's happening is we could spread awareness to others about the situation and have people who have more authority to be aware and have their attention on this situation.

2) A solution I would propose is just trying to make peace with both countries and find a way that will both work for them. So just talk their problem out with each other. Also I think Russia needs to listen to what Ukraine has to say about the war.
3) I can spread awareness to others and tell them what is happening in the situation. The more people that know the more help people can get.
4) I think this crisis is important to learn about because fighting with people isn't the best way to handle things. Just because you get mad at something doesn't mean you get to go kill a bunch innocent people. So it is important to learn about because we need to know how bad wars are and that we don't want them to create any more conflict. ]]> 2022-03-02 00:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072485288 Jocelyn https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072515055 1)President Zelenskyy doesn't want to harm any other places because he knows people who live there, or has memories of those places.
2)A solution could be Russia and Ukraine talking about ways to come up with a deal to this that will be beneficial for both countries.
3)We could spread awareness about the war by making things to inform people about it, or we could donate food or money to Ukraine to help the people there.

  • I learned that Ukraine doesn’t want to fight and isn’t trying to fight Russia but instead trying to defend themselves from Russia attacking them.
  • A solution that I would propose is trying to talk everything out so both are able to get what they want without one of them or both attacking each other because that’s something that other people shouldn’t be getting hurt by if they don’t really have anything to do with it other than living there.
  • We can talk about it with each other and tell as many people as we can to raise awareness of the situation.
  • This crisis is important to learn about because it is something that can affect a lot of people. And the situation can get way bigger than it already is so it is good to be informed on it as much as you can be to be prepared in case something happens to you or any of your loved ones.

So he might stop his attack so they wouldn't be hostile towards the other countries.
    3) A specific action I could take would be to maybe find out what he would want and suggest it to other people. Then we could try to get the idea recognized and send it to the government.
    4) This crisis is so important because it is a huge controversy and the entire world is mad about it. These small conflicts can eventually turn into huge problems for the entire world so we want to deal with it when it is small.]]>     2022-03-02 00:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072543779     Jasmine #2(Continued) https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072586201 1) I learned that this situation has impacted many different people, both Ukrainians and Russians. I can also explain how watching Ukraine's president speech to the Russian people seemed to have wanted to sympathize with them and prove that they were innocent. NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization as well, a term used in this conflict.
    2) The solutions I propose would be potentially cutting off resources for Russia and give support where we can. Not getting too involved but being educated about the situation would be helpful.
    3) For what I could do myself, I think I could spread more awareness to the situation and continue educating myself for what is happening right now. I can explain how taking action would be a compassionate thing to do because I could help the people in Ukraine in many ways too that says a lot about me as a person. Holding people in power accountable is very important too. I can always find ways to take action during a crisis no matter how big it may seem.
    4) This is important to learn about because this event is part of history itself and we are witnessing it happen before our eyes. We all learn from our mistakes and in the future if this gets larger, it would be very important to know what occurred actually. The situation has the possibility of spreading and getting wide, so we should know what is happening.]]>     2022-03-02 01:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072586201     Sophia ( Continuation ) https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072592643 1) Something new that I learned from the information that was presented was that NATO was sending troops and weapons to nations surrounding Ukraine to help protect it.
    2) A solution to that is perhaps both countries can go at peace.
    3) A specific action my peers and I can take is to continue to support Ukraine during this time, because I believe that it can be useful, and I also believe that Ukraine should be protected.
    4) This crisis is important to learn about because it makes up part of our society nowadays, and because I believe that events like this are important to learn about and see why things like this happen and why they occur. It is also something that revolves around the past, and is something that connects to history.]]>     2022-03-02 01:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072592643     Kayla Nguyen(again) https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072704738 1) The reason Putin may be trying to invade Ukraine is because he's frustrated he was not as powerful as before and wants to reclaim that title.
    2) I think help from the outside would be the best solution. Because by interfering directly(e.g. sending U.S. troops into Ukraine) Russia could start attacking us as well. That'll lead into an even worse situation. For now we need to provide resources to people in Ukraine and figure out a way to talk things out. I think the U.S. is already doing this.
    3) Realistically, we could donate to people currently in Ukraine, or spread awareness of the situation to people we know so they could do the same.
    4) The lives and independence of people in Ukraine are at risk. And it should be common sense for we as humans to be caring about other humans. Also, this situation has the chance to escalate outside of just Russia and Ukraine. It has the chance to affect us. If we aren't informed when we have the chance, then how will we know how to react when we're involved.]]>     2022-03-02 02:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072704738     Jayden https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072736164 1) Something I didn't know before was that one of the reasons this is happening is because  Putin is trying to stop western influence from coming to his western border.
    2) One solution could be placing sanctions so that Russia's economy falls. 
    3) I honestly don't think we could make a difference because we're just kids. 
    4) This is important because not only can this conflict ruin other countries economy, but this can grow into a bigger war. ]]>     2022-03-02 03:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2072736164     Noah ( #2 ) ndariano04091 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074171898 1.

    2. A solution I propose is to stop business going towards Russia. They won't be able to get materiels.
    3. Something that we can do to contribute to this solution is to not buy anything that is labeled " Made in Russia "

    2) Russia is being punished by Nato causing their economy to be damaged, them eventually being forced to stop attacking
    3) We could spread awareness online or in person, and if you want can donate on certain websites.

    2) A situation I propose is for President Zelensky and Russia to call on the phone, so that they can explain their points of view.
    3) What we can do to contribute to the solution is to give speeches of what the Ukrainians think about the war.
    4) I think this crisis is important to learn about because it allows us to understand these current events happening in our world.]]>     2022-03-02 18:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074176412     janea Stahl https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074176449 1) I learned what NATO was.
    2) I don't have a solution.
    3) Realistically, I can do nothing.
    4) This is important to learn about because it is happening right now, and we should know what is happening in the world around us. Also this could cause even bigger problems.]]>     2022-03-02 18:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074176449     Samuel https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074179830 1. Ukraine wanted to made itself a independent country in December 1991
    2. If putin is up for it Ukraine could give Russia supplies and resources for a treaty that they won't invade. 
    3. We could help defend and supply Ukraine becuase Ukraine did nothing wrong to get invaded. 
    4. This crisis is important to learn about because this is a incident but this can lead to a bigger incidence/lead to war. ]]>     2022-03-02 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074179830     Diego drios0309 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074180480 1) I already know know a lot about this topic and nothing seemed new to me.
    2) The United States has imposed sanctions on Russia and maybe the US and Ukraine will be able to negotiate with Russia to stop the sanctions and the war diplomatically. Or Ukraine might have to join the EU or NATO for aid in defense.
    3) We can donate to Ukrainian banks and funds to supply the Ukrainian Army and petition social media platforms to demonetize Russian content and boycott Russian goods.
    4) This is important to know and be aware of because there is no telling how much this war could escalate and what could happen to the economy, Europe or the hope of peace.

I learned that NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Ukraine was to become a member of NATO as soon as it reached NATO standards for governance and transparency. It hasn't done that yet, but the Russian aggression against the move was strong. Article 5 of NATO's treaty is extremely vague on an armed response to an attack on any one of its countries. Even though Ukraine has not completely joined NATO yet, it has effectively made it under NATO's protection. NATO has only ever actually invoked Article 5 of its treaty once, about 24 hours after the September 11th attacks in order to support the United States. It also has current active operations.
    2. The solution that I propose is that Russia should extract their troops from Ukraine and NATO should stop giving weapons to Ukraine, and everyone should make a peace treaty that ensures that this never happens again. Another solution I propose is that Ukraine gives Russia something they want, and everyone stops attacking and everyone makes a peace treaty.
    3. Our peers and I can donate money to the Ukrainian pranks. Another thing we can all do is stop posting fake information online.
    4. This crisis is important to learn about because it is going on in our real world, and we should understand what is happening and be careful about it. It can also lead to bigger issues, and if we learn about it now, we could take part in stopping it.]]>     2022-03-02 18:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074188857     Jonathan #2 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074194600 1) I learned Ukraine joined the NATO, Russia doesn't want any sort of NATO associate in there area.  
    2) One solution, is to have Ukraine and other supportive country's to negotiate with Russia to see what they want and try to work the situation out.
    3) Some actions that could contribute to the situation is to donate to any part of Ukraine this includes banks, shelters, etc.
     4) This crisis is important to learn about because this could escalate into something bigger.]]>     2022-03-02 18:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074194600     Tanner #2 tsmith01091 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074194906 1) One thing I learned from the information presented was that in 2014, people considered removing Russia from SWIFT because of the annexation of premiere. Another thing I learned was that the fighting in Ukraine could make a spark that can turn into a fire, which would mean that the fighting would spread worldwide.
    2) A solution I propose is to have people from surrounding countries help Ukraine to fight Russia. 
    3) I think the surrounding countries could either supply Ukraine with more weapons or join forces with them.
    4) I think this crisis is important to learn about because most people believe that what Putin is doing is wrong and it needs to be stopped.]]>     2022-03-02 18:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074194906     Aaron(Again) awong05091 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074197315 1) I knew almost nothing about the conflict so I learned a lot. Russia is using propaganda in their Television Networks about Ukraine. Their saying things like Ukraine is Nazist or that they hate Russian culture. I also learned that Russia is invading because Ukraine was about to join NATO or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Russia didn't want this to happen because they would join countries like the United States and France.
    2) One solution is ban most or all trade with Russia. This will hurt their economy greatly and Russia can no longer get certain resources that are found in US.
    3) The best way for people like us to help is to spread awareness of what is actually going on so people know both sides the reasons behind the impending war.
    4) This crisis is important to know about because this isn't just a war between Russia and Ukraine. It affect the entire world and snowball into a possible WW3. It is also important know what is actually going on.

    2) I really do not know what could be done in this situation. I recognize that conflict is bad, but I don't think anything would stop Putin.
    3) I think regular citizens should petition people with higher powers than us to do something about the conflict.
    4) This crisis is important to learn about since it could impact everyone, destroying economies and lives.]]>     2022-03-02 18:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074201686     Jonathan #3 jdueck0509 https://padlet.com/smcmillan17/j2c1sb2unvrb/wish/2074203098 1) I learned that Russian doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO.
