    On February 24th, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a “special military operation,” but the scale of the attack shows this is a full-scale war that has already caused more than 100 casualties and forced more than half a million Ukrainians to flee their homes.
    Ukraine and Russia’s conflict goes back to 2014, when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea and Russian-backed separatist forces took over parts of southeastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. But to understand the full context behind the invasion, it’s important to go even farther back, to the time when Europe’s current-day divisions began, and see how that shaped Europe’s power balance today.
    To understand the current conflict’s history in less than 10 minutes, watch the video above.

    Correction, March 3, 2022: A previous version of this video stated that NATO was brought to Russia's borders for the “first time” in 2004 when Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania joined NATO. That was incorrect because Norway shares a border with Russia and has been in NATO since 1949. We’ve corrected that line at 3:36 to emphasize the importance of former Soviet republics on Russia's border joining NATO for the first time.
    We've also clarified that this is one of Europe's largest wars since World War II. We value your feedback in the comments and appreciate you bringing these points to our attention.

That's inaccurate because Norway shares a small border with Russia and has been in NATO since 1949.

      Mainly the second reason. Though Putin is a horrible man, Hitler he is not.

In his speech last monday (21.2.2022) he said that Ukraine were a country by the grace of Russia and lost their sovereignty due to corruption. If a country loses his subject-status in international law (kinda the "countryness") there is no more protection by the norms of international law in particular the prohibition of force layed down in Art. 2 UN-Charta. This stance of Putin on sovereignty has absolutely no basis in present international law. If this may become the new standard no small nation is safe anymore and we re back in a neo-imperialist system. This is truely shocking ! :/

    Putin signed "Minsk agreements 2014" (to end of war and donbass must be Ukraine) and waited peace 8 years.
    What about this:
    - Merkel (German president): The Minsk agreements were needed only to "give Ukraine time" This allowed the country to become stronger in it`s future confrontation with Russia.
    - Hollande (French president): Yes, Angela Merkel was right about that.
    - Poroshenko (Ukraine president): This document gave Ukraine eight years to build an army, economy and a global pro-Ukrainian anti-Putin coalition.
    - Zelensky (Ukraine president): As for Minsk as a whole, we will not be able to implement it like that (7 february 2022).
    Summary, They (Germany, French, Ukraine) did`t want peace, they built army for future confrontation with Russia.
    - Mykhailo Zabrodsky is a former commander of Ukraine’s air-assault forces says: “Crimea is not only possible, it was something that was being prepared for 2023”.
    Summary: Ukrainian army wanted attack region of Russia.
    - Ukraine attack DNR and LNR (Donbass) since 17 february 2022. You can see report osce. They are recorded more 10 000 ceasefire violations. (17.02.2022 to 23.02.2022)

      in the late USSR there were many repressions and after Stalin, if you spoke about the ukrainian position, you were sent to prison in Siberia. And then the new soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev started a war in Afghanistan. Also in Ichkeria and Georgia, which putin only continued. so putin is not an exception, but an ordinary ruler of russia, there are a lot of examples even before the USSR.

Not only this but the agricultural history and significance of Ukraine globally would boost Russia's failing economy and struggling supplies. The annexation of crimea and the blockage of the freshwater canal made the takeover of the region a half-failure with the arid landscape causing the new region to be a huge financial burden.

    I have to say something about the notion that this is the biggest war since the WWII, which has been said in many news services on TV and across CZcams. What about the wars between 1991 and 2001 in the former Yuoguslavia? Weren't they big and bad enough to be deemed as a worthy reference? Yes, it wasn't an attack from foreign countries, but it did change the map of Europe, then several new states camed out from those wars.

      Without wanting to downplaying what happened in Yugoslavia, I think this is a completely different order of magnitude. Not so much in casualties as we speak, but because of the number of countries impacted and the economic warfare that is currently happening. The yugoslavia war was messy and horrible for the people involved, but it was contained (and technically a civil war). This is an invasion with the potential to move into WW3.
      I am aware that such statements are technical and perhaps semantic and thus do no justice to the (former) Yugoslavians, but it is why people see this as a bigger war than what happened in Yugoslavia.

    As a Russian citizen, I consider the beginning of this war a tragedy not only for Ukraine, but also for my country. All our independent media have been shut down in the last week. People who go to rallies against the war are constantly repressed. Police brutally beat protesters and put them in jail. I have been going to rallies against Putin since 2016 (I am 22 years old now). None of my friends support this war and we want this nightmare to end as soon as possible. ĐĐ”Ń‚ ĐČĐŸĐčĐœĐ”!

      War could have been avoided if NATO allowed Russia to join in 2000. But as usual NATO is specifically targetting Russia and Putin knows this. Idk why are you against him on this specific issue.
