Why Are Russia And Ukraine Fighting?

The current war between Ukraine and Russia is caused due to the breach of contract made by Russian President Vladimir Putin to maintain sanity in Ukraine territory. Unfortunately, Vladimir Putin failed to keep his part of the deal sending troops to Eastern, Southern, and Northern Ukraine.

Russian president launches attack on Ukraine, saying Ukraine posed a threat to them having insisted on joining the NATO. Vladimir Putin claims his goal was channelled to the safety of Ukraine and protection against genocide and bullying from Nazis.

Vladimir Putin accuses Ukraine of being under the control of extremists since the reign of the former Ukraine president, Viktor Yanukovych. In defence, the Russian leader sent troops to Southern Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and fought for separatists against the Ukrainian forces that destroyed many lives. 

After the war, the Russian president deployed soldiers to guard the Ukraine border, promising not to launch an attack on them. This happened in 2021. The disintegration of Ukraine from the soviet union and joining the European Union and NATO resulted in Vladimir Putin‘s action on the Ukraine government.

In his speech, he accuses the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) of being a threat to their bond with Ukraine.
