WHY IS RUSSIA ATTACKING UKRAINE?

Russia's attack on Ukraine can be explained by the combination of many different factors. These include political, economic and geopolitical reasons.

Political reasons include the political crisis in Ukraine after the impeachment of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. After Yanukovych's dismissal, a pro-Western government was established in Ukraine, which led to a waning of Russian influence in Ukraine. Russia did not accept this change in Ukraine, annexing Crimea and supported separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Among the economic reasons is Ukraine's natural gas debt to Russia. Russia cut off the gas flow on the grounds that Ukraine did not pay its natural gas debt, leaving Ukraine in an economically difficult situation.

Geopolitical reasons include Russia's desire to strengthen its strategic position in the Black Sea by keeping Ukraine under control. In addition, Ukraine's attempts to join the European Union and NATO have also increased Russia's concerns.

In conclusion, there are many factors behind the attack on Ukraine. However, this attack is against international law and has been condemned by many countries.
