The Best Way to Resist Putin’s Aggression? Stand With Ukraine.

On March 16, 2014, Russian troops occupied the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine. A referendum was then held (that was condemned by most of the international community) on whether to join Russia or remain part of Ukraine. The vote was rigged, and unsurprisingly, independence from Kiev won with 97% of the vote. Russian president Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea on March 18th. This move violated both Ukrainian and international law, and it triggered a wave of sanctions from Western countries against Russia. Since then, Putin has been quietly supporting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine who are fighting against the central government in Kiev. As the death toll continues to rise, it’s more important than ever that we stand with Ukraine in this time of crisis. Join me in calling on.

Today, on 24 of February 2022, at 5.00 AM the armed forces of the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine. Please, Stand with Ukraine, stay tuned for updates on Ukraine’s official sources and channels in English and support Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy in Europe.

What is happening in Ukraine and how did it get to this point

The current situation in Ukraine is tense and uncertain. The conflict began in November of 2013, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych abandoned an EU trade deal in favor of closer ties with Russia. This decision resulted in widespread protests, which eventually led to Yanukovych’s removal from office. Since then, the country has been in a state of turmoil, with two separate governments claiming control over the country. Russian troops have also entered Crimea, resulting in international condemnation. Here’s a look at what’s happening in Ukraine and how it got to this point.

The implications of the conflict for the region and the world

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to simmer, the international community is searching for a resolution. The ramifications of this conflict are far-reaching, affecting not only the region but also global security and stability. Russian aggression in Ukraine has raised alarms among NATO members, and there is a real risk of broader military escalation. This could have serious implications for the world at large.

How the international community can help resolve the situation

The situation in Ukraine is complex, and the international community has a role to play in helping to find a solution. There are many different factors at play, and it is important to consider all of them in order to come up with a viable solution. The United Nations has been involved in trying to broker a peace agreement, but so far their efforts have failed. It is important to remember that there are no easy answers, and finding a solution will take time and patience.
