Russia-Ukrainian War 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for a "special military operation" against Ukraine, which is not limited to the Russian-speaking region of eastern Ukraine. Russia Ukraine's history is so intertwined in its origins that a certain period of its history is called the Caucasus Russia. After the Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Ukraine joined the Soviet Union in 1919.

| Russian Ukraine War |
In World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States, and Britain together defeated the Tripartite Alliance of German Nazism and Fascism, in which the Soviet Union played a key role and liberated Germany, Ukraine, and many Eastern European countries from Hitler's control. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine became a separate republic through a referendum.
The defense agreement of the Warsaw Pact, which was established against the NATO military block after the collapse of the Soviet Union, also ended. Thus, the division of the capitalist camp and the socialist camp in Europe ended. Nevertheless, things took a terrible turn and the United States became the sole superpower in the world, and Western Europe as well as the member states of the Warsaw Pact in Eastern Europe joined NATO.
Thus, the siege around Russia became narrower, although, with the end of the Warsaw Pact, it was expected that Europe would unite and that NATO would end. However, the lone superpower, fearful of nuclear superpower Russia, kept Western and Eastern Europe tied to NATO.
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
Russia-Ukraine recent conflict erupted in southeastern Ukraine (Donbas) where Russia is the majority and the western part is based on racial segregation between Ukrainians when on 21 November 2013 the then Ukrainian President Yanukovych signed an alliance with the European Union. The treaty was suspended, and two days later, a border war broke out between Russia and Ukraine. \
Crimea, located in the Black Sea on the Soviet Union's main port of Sevastopol (which was handed over to Ukraine in 1954 by Ukrainian President of the Soviet Union Furochev) was restored to its former occupation by a referendum on March 18, 2014.
Meanwhile, the impeachment motion against Ukrainian President Yanukovych, backed by the Russian people in southeastern Ukraine, succeeded, and "Euromedian" demonstrations erupted in Ukraine, seeking to establish ties with the European Union. As a result, Ukraine became divided.
In Ukraine, fierce fighting broke out between the families of two politicians, Yanukovych and Timoshenko, and their parties. Meanwhile, in the Russian-Ukrainian war of Donbas, the Dominican Republic and Luhansk declared their independence.
During the civil war, two trilateral agreements were reached in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, under which the Dominican Republic and Luhansk were granted territorial sovereignty, guaranteed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). But the organization, and in particular Germany and France, did not play the role that the treaty required.
Russian President Putin, meanwhile, insisted on a new "indivisible security" security structure in Europe, but Britain and the United States did not allow that to happen, instead of trying to persuade Ukraine to join NATO. In his strongest support, the current President of Ukraine, Vladimir Mirzulinsky, took to the field. Instead of adhering to the Minsk agreements, efforts were intensified to bring Ukraine into the European Union and NATO.
Russia's threats to its security increased after the former Soviet states of Eastern Europe joined NATO and the European Union, and it drew the red line that Georgia and Ukraine would never join NATO.
That is why Russia invaded Ukraine and intended to destroy Ukraine's defense forces and close the door on Ukraine's participation in NATO. In addition, the recognition of the two "newly independent" states of southeastern Ukraine and the formation of a taxing political system in western Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Zelensky, meanwhile, is frustrated with the United States and NATO nations that he has been left alone in the war and is ready to negotiate with Russia. The difference now is where the talks take place, in Minsk or Warsaw. The United States and NATO are now said to have withdrawn from Ukraine's ground support over Russia's nuclear threat. However, they have announced economic sanctions against Russia.
Even if Europe does now, especially Germany, Italy, and France, 40% of its gas and about a third of its oil comes from Russia and 70% of Russia's gas and half of its oil is exported to Europe. Russia is the European Union's largest trading partner, accounting for 37% of Europe's world trade. Due to this bilateral trade dependence, economic sanctions on Russia will hurt Western Europe more than Russia.
Now that China has become a major global economic power and is becoming a major partner of Russia in the new alignment of Eurasia, it seems to be standing with Russia. Under these circumstances, Russia's blockade of the United States is part of the global alignment of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is a manifestation of the new Cold War.
In the age of globalized trade and investment, which requires a globalized world and global supply chains, economic sanctions affect the entire global market. If Russia is affected then the western world will also be affected.
Russia's blockade by NATO is not only dangerous for world peace and the security of the planet. Rather, but it is also creating the conditions for the wider Eurasian region to become a new block with a few exceptions, which is possible with the cooperation of China and Russia.
In this situation, India is stuck in an old dilemma, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the same position that Jawaharlal Nehru took during the Hungarian crisis.
In such a situation, the visit of the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan was an untimely mode of life suited to one stage. The world is going to change in the next 20 years, and we need to move beyond the old American Aid dreams and focus on CPEC, which could include Russia.
Russian-Ukraine Conflict Reason
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has justified his attacks on Ukraine by saying that his country was in grave danger from Ukraine. It is urging countries to guarantee that Ukraine will not join the NATO alliance. Russia does not tolerate NATO being allowed to deploy its weapons in Ukraine, because when Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, it will have the right to install any kind of weapons in Ukraine, which is not acceptable to Russia. This is the threat posed to Russia, while Ukrainian President Vladimir Ember Zelensky has often been heard to say that Ukraine has no choice but to join the NATO alliance to ensure its security.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan visited Russia on the eve of the war. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was in Russia the morning Russian President Putin ordered his forces to invade Ukraine. These things are also circulating in Pakistan and some people think that Imran Khan has chosen the wrong time for his visit.
This is the first visit of a Pakistani Prime Minister to Russia in almost 23 years. The last time former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif visited Moscow was in 1999. Some political and foreign affairs analysts also claim that the time chosen for the visit could send a message to world powers that Pakistan is not with the US-led Western alliance in the Ukraine crisis. Rather, it stands with Russia.
But National Security Adviser Moeed Yusuf dismissed all speculations about the timing of Imran Khan's visit, saying "yes there is global tension but our visit is bilateral and this visit is like China. Our visit includes economic issues." We are not in a single camp. While it was also observed that Pakistani staff, students, and citizens present in Ukraine consider themselves insecure and are appealing to the Pakistani government to return to the country.
History tells us that Russia is undoubtedly more powerful than Ukraine in terms of defense capabilities and other powers, and Ukraine knows that.
Russia also gave Pakistan the gift of steel mills when the United States, considering Pakistan an economic failure, refused trade agreements.
Pakistan also has close ties with Ukraine. For more than a decade now, Pakistan's ambassador to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, has been stationed. Defense cooperation between Pakistan and Ukraine is increasing, especially in the field of defense production, and several projects are being implemented between the two countries based on technology exchange and joint ventures.
The armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia will not only affect Europe but also the region of the Middle East and North Africa. The reason will be most affected. If the Russia-Ukraine war is prolonged, there will be a dangerous war between the European countries as well, but our international affairs analysts point to the third world war. Because the United States is speaking openly against Russia.
Russian-Ukraine Conflict 2022
When Jessica, a student in Ukraine, wanted to escape the war in Ukraine and go to a safe place across the border, she was told that if you were black, you would have to go on foot. This proves that even if there is a war, the issue of caste still exists during the war.
By the way, this dispute should be resolved amicably at the table. The two countries, Russia and Ukraine, should not allow elements that spoil the negotiation process to interfere, and negotiations must be conducted through dialogue.
