Ukraine Crisis

The Ukraine Crisis refers to the ongoing geopolitical conflict that began in late 2013 and escalated in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea following Ukraine’s Euromaidan protests and the ousting of President Yanukovych. This crisis involves tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as broader implications for international relations and security in Europe. The situation has led to armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists declared independence in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, prompting a response from the Ukrainian government. The crisis has resulted in significant humanitarian challenges, economic sanctions, and ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. Additionally, it has raised concerns about territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and the influence of major powers in the region. The situation remains fluid, with periodic escalations and ceasefires, highlighting the complexities of modern geopolitical conflicts.
