Russia Ukraine Conflict

Russia declared two provinces of Ukraine as independent countries

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Eastern Europe has reached its most difficult period ever. Russian President Vladimir Putin has recognized Ukrainian rebel-held Luhansk and Donetsk provinces as independent countries. Putin lashed out at the Ukrainian government, NATO forces and the US government in a televised address.

The Russian President bluntly said that Ukraine has become a colony of America, where a puppet government is running. Ukraine's President Zelensky has reacted strongly to this statement of Putin, saying that we are not afraid. Zelensky still hopes for Western support.

Before understanding the situation in Eastern Europe, which reached the mouth of the war, let us know what is the importance of Luhansk and Donetsk.

• Luhansk and Donetsk, located in the eastern part of Ukraine, are adjacent to the Russian border. Both these states have a large population of Russian origin. Luhansk and Donetsk have been occupied by Russian-backed rebels since 2014. Since then both these provinces call themselves independent republics. However, Ukraine does not recognize these.
• Geographically, both the states fall under the Donbas region. According to international reports, about 15 thousand people have lost their lives in the ongoing conflict here. Ukraine has always accused Russia of fueling the conflict, while Russia denies it.
• Russia may have officially recognized Luhansk and Donetsk this time, but Ukraine has been saying that it has secretly helped the rebels there. This help includes weapons, vaccine, Russian passport and corona vaccine. After the conflict with Ukraine started, the rebels of these two states had sought help from Russia. It is alleged that Russia had also helped them secretly.

Ukraine should immediately stop military action

Putin warned that if Ukraine joins NATO, it will be a direct threat to Russia. We call on Ukraine to immediately stop military action. If this does not happen, then the government sitting in Kiev will be responsible for all the bloodshed. Today Ukraine is not only rejecting its shared past with Russia, but is proving to be helpful in the NATO agenda of weakening Russia.

The real reason for the Ukraine crisis is the expansion of NATO

According to Putin- Ukraine is also planning to make nuclear weapons, if this happens then there will be a big change in the world order. In recent times, there has been a large-scale supply of weapons to Ukraine from Western countries. Putin alleges that the real reason for the Ukraine crisis is the expansion of NATO, which has damaged mutual trust. The real aim of the western countries is to stop the development of Russia.

Ukraine was created by Russia under Communist rule

Russian President Vladimir Putin said- 'Ukraine was created by Russia under communist rule, but today fundamentalists take credit for its independence, while they have nothing to do with it. Despite the deceit and dishonesty after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian people recognized many countries, including Ukraine. We have fully repaid Ukraine's debt, but they did not comply with the property return agreements.

Joe Biden will take action against Russia

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden would soon issue an order barring US citizens from investing in Luhansk and Donetsk.

America has given its strong reaction to this announcement of Russia. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden would soon issue an order barring US citizens from investing in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Apart from America, the EU and Britain are also talking about imposing restrictions.
