Conflict Between Russia And Russia

After WW1, There was a power struggle for the leader of Russia. High level government workers Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky fought for the throne after the untimely death of Vladimir Lenin.

In 2014, Russia captured the Crimea and Sevastopol, and unfurled tens of thousands of troops near Ukraine border. This is where the conflict flashed between pro-Russian separatists and the new government in Kiev. Russia's actions, including reported military aid for separatist troops, mark a serious major threat to generally accepted principles of world order, such as, sovereignty and

By January 2014, the protests became violent as confrontations between police and demonstrators intensified. Within a week of these deaths, the Ukrainian prime minister resigns from his office and the parliament repeals harsh anti-protest laws. Violence in the country continued to escalate and on February 28, 2014, the clashes leave 26 dead and hundreds injured. Amidst the escalating violence, the then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country after a political coup leaving Oleksandr Turchynov as acting president and commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (BBC 2014).

In Syria we see massive civilian displacement and casualties due to fighting. The specific symptoms are armed conflict, air strikes, and purported chemical weapon usage. In following step two and collecting data we have verified proof that the problem exists via independent and state sponsored journalists reporting to all major news syndicates worldwide. The beginnings of the conflict formed over many years of pro-democracy civilians being suppressed in lieu of an authoritarian government. The beginning of the actual anti-regime uprising started in March of 2011 following the arrests of teens and children for political graffiti (Syrian Civil War Fast Facts, 2015). This lead to mass demonstrations in the country's capital and surrounding cities, and let to Syrian police and military forces beating and even killing protesters. This led to the formation to militias forming which split the country into the military and security forces of the Syrian state and militant rebels attempting to overthrow the government. The impact of the problem is that Syria has spiraled into a constant state of chaos throughout the country, resulting in almost complete devastation of all the country's main cities, as well as, constant war and the death of many innocent people and

On May 8th, 1945, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel surrendered the German armed forces to the allies in Berlin, thus ending the war for Germany. The German people were then confronted by a situation never before experienced. All of Germany was occupied by foreign armies, their cities and infrastructure lay in ruins, and millions were homeless and starving. Following the unilateral surrender by Germany, the country was divided into four zones, governed by each of the allied powers: Britain, France, the U.S. and the Soviet Union. As diplomacy between the West and the Soviet Union began to deteriorate, each zone became more self-sufficient and independent of the others. Tensions between the West and the Soviet Union also began to rise as it became apparent that the two super powers, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. would vie for dominance throughout the world, each seeking to spread its ideology and stop the spread of the other’s. The first real exacerbation of this conflict came when the Soviet Union blockaded the divided city of Berlin, which lay in is zone of control. The U.S.S.R. wanted to test the Western resolve to hold Berlin and maintain control. The response the U.S. chose was to keep Berlin supplied by air, through constant resupply by aircraft, a feat never before accomplished. The airlift lasted for nearly eleven months and kept the Western controlled sectors of Berlin adequately supplied, and showed the Soviet Union the U.S.’s resolve to hold out against the spread of

The two countries, Russia and Ukraine, had different reactions towards the armed violence and impeachment of the Ukrainian president. Although the majority of the Ukrainians opposed Viktor’s decision to procrastinate the signing the EU-Ukraine integration agreement, all the ex-presidents accused for its interference with the affairs of Crimean. The former presidents of Ukraine, including Leonid Kravchuk and Leonid Kuchma described the present crisis as Russia’s political interventions designed to interfere with the internal affairs of Ukraine and its relationship with the European Union (Hanschke 1). The people of Crimea have not been seeking for secession from Ukraine, but their interest is to have extended autonomy and rights to govern the Crimean affairs with minimum involvement of the government of Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, have dismissed the accusation and stated that it is pursuing the interest of the people of Crimea to join the Federation of Russia. Russia holds that the people of Crimea have the power to decide the future of their territory and Russia will be ready to respect their decision. Study shows that about 90

Russia’s military and military backed militia moved in to combat protests in the nation. Millions of people are suffering this military oppression, and it is believed that Russia is persuing this war in the hopes to take back Ukraine and enact broader military influence on the region, while also gaining territory. Russia’s opposition to Ukraine becoming a part of the EU seems to have culminated in the current state of volatility between the two regions. This situation reveals the flaws in the democratic peace theory.

For the past century it seems the world has been continually on the brink of global war, and on two occasions these global crises led to terrible world wars. The First World War, was called the Great War, because there had never been a war that was so terrifying, or encompassing. The Second World War, was worse in comparison, but both started from very small incidents that cascaded into enormous conflicts that engulfed most of the world’s countries. Today we can look to Russia and their actions in Eastern Europe as the next inclinations of a global war. Several aspects of Russia’s public and secret actions prove as evidence for the coming of the next Great World War. Recent attacks on places like Ukraine and Georgia are parallel to those of the past, such as Germany’s false flag actions in Gleiwitz, Germany which allowed Nazi’s to build German public opinion to justify the invasion of Poland. Even Russia’s foreign policy displays Vladimir Putin’s drive for Russia to regain its super power standing of the cold war, similar to Hitler’s desire to return Germany to greatness following its defeat and humiliation in the Great War. Analysis of Putin’s rise to power, even seems to be taken from Hitler’s plans to gain control of Germany before World War two. America and its Allies are even following the same missteps that allowed the first two world wars to cascade into global conflicts.

The crisis in Ukraine and Crimea’s recent accession to Russia are events that clearly highlight the underlying sources of conflict in global politics. While Russia sees its actions in Crimea as a “reunification” and the respect for the right of self-determination, the West views it as a threat to European security and a violation of territorial integrity. Crimea has been a debatable topic from the time it came under the control of the Russian Empire in 1783 during the reign of Catherine the Great. The justification then was similar to the reasoning being used by Vladimir Putin today. Catherine declared that she was protecting ethnic Russians in the region from the Ottoman Empire, much as Putin is claiming to protect Russians from Ukrainian

The conflict between the Ukraine and Russia is the Ukraine's most long-standing and deadly crisis; since its post-Soviet independence began as a protest against the government dropping plans to forge closer trade ties with the European Union. The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine stems from more than twenty years of weak governance, the government’s inability to promote a coherent executive branch policy, an economy dominated by oligarchs and rife with corruption, heavy reliance on Russia, and distinct differences between Ukraine's population from both Eastern and Western regions in terms of linguistics, religion and ethnicity (Lucas 2009).

In the Ukrainian crisis with Russia, there have been many non-state actors involved since the beginning of the invasion of Crimea. “From the Russian diaspora, non-governmental organizations, paramilitary groups and volunteer militias, there are a diverse range of non-state actors involved in the crisis” (German and Karagiannis, 2016). There has been a large impact in regards to religious groups with the Ukrainian conflict, such as the Russian Orthodox Church being able to rationalize why there was a need to invade Crimea. In Ukraine, a subset church of the Russian Orthodox Church broke off from the Russian Church to play a proactive role in assisting the pro-Ukrainian militias during the conflict. Organized crime and rise of militias have caused uncertainty for the country of Ukraine as the country lacks the ability to stabilize its regions against the crisis from the militias to Russia’s invasion.

Ukraine is a large and pivotal state, occupying an important and sensitive location between the Russian Federation and the eastern European states. The country borders several members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), such as Poland and Romania. Up until 1991, Ukraine was a member of the Soviet Union. Their independence has long been the source of conflict and dispute in the region, and has led to violent armed conflict in recent years. The country has a rich history and unique culture which deserve detailed analysis. In this paper, I will explore the geography, society, government, economy, infrastructure, military, and transnational issues of Ukraine.

The political relations between Ukraine and Russia as the two independent subjects of international relations were established in 1991 after the eighth December of the same year signed the Belavezha agreement between Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, which marked the end of the existence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as " subject of international law and geopolitical reality "and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States. From that moment we can talk about the beginning of the existence of full political relations between Russia and Ukraine.

The breadbasket of Eastern Europe is having a problem with militants who have killed and have tortured hundreds of people in the name of freedom. The militants, Pro-Russian rebels native to Ukraine, believe that their actions against the government are just. Those who believe that the Pro-Russian Ukrainian rebels are fighting against a corrupt, ultranationalist government are right. The Ukrainian citizens need to understand, however, that the government of Ukraine is the lesser of two evils; the rebels have committed many more heinous crimes than the government has. The rebels are also against policies that can benefit all of Europe and Ukraine. Currently, the Ukrainian people seek to have a stable nation with a self-sufficient government

This is an ambitious proposition. But it is compelling as the challenges of the twenty-first century are no longer restricted to predictable, entrenched threats in eastern Europe. Violence can be inflamed anywhere; insurgencies are fueled from recruits across the world;
