We are all aware of what is happening between Ukraine and Russia. Looking
back at history, the Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014. Along with this, is when
Russia had a hold with Crimea. And this year, Russia has begun the invasion to
Ukraine again. Russia has launched devastating attacks on Ukraine be it by land, air,
and sea. It is said from one of the news that the reason why Russian military
attacked is because Putin (President of Russia) said that “Russia could not feel safe,
develop and exist because of what he claimed was a constant threat from modern
Ukraine.” He also claimed that his goal was to protect people subjected to bullying
and genocide and aim for the "demilitarization and de-Nazification" of Ukraine.
Moreover, Zelensky (President of Ukraine) questioned Putin’s’ claim that how
could he be a Nazi. The question now is how dangerous and life threatening does
this invasion for the neighboring countries? It is dangerous that there is a possibility
to have a World War III amidst this pandemic. There are different countries who have
been restricting any transaction with Russia, saying that their move is irrational.
Since the Ukraine-Russia conflict started there are also some news telling that some
country also started their move one of it is North Korea who launches a ballistic
missile amid Ukrainian war.
This conflict between two country cause ruckus and also a life threatening. It
is not just about the lives of those who are in the forces who are fighting against
each other but also the family they have left. The freedom that they being cared for,
for a long period of time is now at sake. Globalization if also affected, the relation
and partnership of different countries is also at risk. War is never a solution to any
misunderstanding, especially that it is not only the lives of their citizen but also the
people around the globe.
