- Why is there tension between Russia and Ukraine?
Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest country by area in Europe after Russia, which it borders to the east and north-east. Ukraine officially declared itself an independent country on 24 August 1991, when the communist Supreme Soviet (parliament) of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of USSR and only the laws of the Ukrainian SSR, de facto declaring Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union.
The crisis began on 21 November 2013, when then-president Viktor Yanukovych suspended preparations for the implementation of an association agreement with the European Union. The decision sparked mass protests from proponents of the agreement. Around the same time, Russia forcibly annexed Crimea. Ukraine was in a vulnerable position for self-defense, with a temporary government and unprepared military.
The war has centered on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, which are largely internationally recognized as part of Ukraine.
What do Ukrainians want?
Russia’s military aggression in Donbas and the annexation of Crimea have galvanized public support for Ukraine’s Western leanings.
Ukraine’s government has said it will apply for European Union membership in 2024, and Ukraine has ambitions to join NATO, which President Putin sees as a direct threat to Russia’s power in the East. But President Putin is keen to regain control of the country’s former territories.
Why would the US want to get involved in this conflict?
With its annexation of Crimea and support for the Donbas conflict, Russia has violated the Budapest Memorandum Security Assurances for Ukraine, a 1994 agreement between the U.S., United Kingdom and Russia that aims to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for its commitment to give up its nuclear arsenal.
Currently, the two countries are in a state of war : Russia has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine over the past several months. The world is anxiously waiting to see whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will invade, with both the US and UK warning Russia will face severe sanctions if it launches an attack.
US President Joe Biden has warned that if Russia were to invade Ukraine it would be “the largest invasion since World War Two” and would “change the world”. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson is heading to Ukraine to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The UK is set to provide tens of millions of pounds in an attempt to shore up democracy in Ukraine and reduce its reliance on Russian energy, as the Prime Minister holds out hope he can defuse tensions on the country’s border. The US has 8,500 troops on high alert to be deployed to Nato’s eastern flank.
