The crisis in Russia and Ukraine
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, ordered an attack on Ukraine on February 24, thwarting diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The reasons were diverse, ranging from expanding the influence of Putin to separatist movements in Ukraine – as well as the annexation of territory from the giant country and the approximation of Western influences.
