Why is Russia invading Ukraine
Below are few of reasons why is Russia invading Ukraine.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine began in 2014 when Ukraine's pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in a popular uprising. Russia saw Yanukovych as an ally and was alarmed by his overthrow, which it viewed as a Western-backed coup.
In response, Russia annexed Crimea, a region that was part of Ukraine but had a majority ethnic Russian population. Russia also supported separatists in eastern Ukraine who sought to break away from Ukraine and join Russia.
The conflict has been fueled by a range of factors, including historical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, ethnic and linguistic differences between Ukrainians and Russians, geopolitical rivalries between Russia and the West, and economic interests in Ukraine's natural resources, particularly its gas pipelines.
The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, displacement of people, and economic damage to both countries. Despite several ceasefires and peace talks, the conflict remains unresolved, with periodic flare-ups of violence in eastern Ukraine.
