P0- Russia/Ukraine S-I-T by Shay Lohman https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s 1. Write your name 2. After reading the CNN article (https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/18/europe/ukraine-russia-conflict-explainer-cmd-intl/index.html) describes something that was either significant, interesting, or troublesome to you. en-us 2022-02-22 14:42:54 UTC 2022-02-22 15:40:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Emily Cheng https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060803514 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060803514 Araksi Chichmanian https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060804055 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."]]> 2022-02-22 15:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060804055 Oswaldo Aguilar https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805625 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805625 Kolton Ly https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805674 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805674 Sydney Du https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805810 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805810 Nicole Rinaldi https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805854 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060805854 Abigail Ngo https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806166 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806166 Lucas W https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806497 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.

]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806506 Andy Huang https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806561 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806561 Danna Vargas https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806590 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806590 Allison Cho https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806602 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.

]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806602 Jamie Kang https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806673 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060806673 Alyssa Ko https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807170 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807170 Veronica Wong https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807265 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807265 Adam Steven https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807408 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807408 Molly Huang https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807495 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807495 Ysabella Yulo https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807613 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060807613 Myles L https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808184 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. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808184 sharlena tang cherii_lyu https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808210 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

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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808562 Kian Oda https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808901 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060808901 Hailey Tran https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060809979 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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060809979 Karis Lim https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060810506  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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060810506 Anthony Zaragoza https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060810819 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.

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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060811597 Sophia Trujillo https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060813360 S- Putin sees NATO and democracy as a threat

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.]]> 2022-02-22 15:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060816711 Gogo Zhou https://padlet.com/slohman/wz34uuvb73gzl02s/wish/2060817776 Something interesting is that Putin is sending troops to the border of Russia and Ukraine and began mobilizing.
