In this video we look at what is happening with the Ukraine and Russia conflict in 2022. We first take a look at the historical background that has led to the conflict, including the collapse of the Soviet Union back in 1991. Then We discuss the 2014 revolution where the Ukrainian President at the time, Viktor Yanukovych, rejected an association agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia, which led to the annexing of the Crimean Peninsula. Next we discuss the 2015 peace agreement that was brokered with the help of France and Germany and how violations of that treaty has caused Russia to place 100,000 troops at the border between Ukraine and Russia. Next we look at the Russian side and dive into the viewpoint of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. We discuss some of the possible reasoning behind his actions that have led to so much attention today. Lastly, we look at the actions taken by both the United States and NATO to prepare for a possible escalation.
