Aarti Srivastava : Russia-Ukraine tensions for a variety of reasons, including Ukraine’s insistence on joining NATO and Russia’s attempt to stop the eastward expansion of the military alliance The war has been going on for the last one year. Not only both the countries, but the whole world has been affected by this war. Food crisis and rising energy prices have made life difficult for the people. The global economy, which is slowly coming back on track after Corona, has suffered a severe setback. What happened during one year of war, is presented with this investigation…

A year has passed since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. last year The war that started on February is still going on. In which thousands of Ukrainian citizens including children and many soldiers of both the countries have been killed. Although it is difficult to tell the exact number of people killed, but most estimates say that the war has caused a lot of damage. Millions of people were forced to leave their homes to save their lives and have to become refugees in their own country or in other countries. Since the war is still going on, the possibility of further escalation of this conflict and the use of nuclear weapons cannot be ruled out given the strained relations between Russia and Ukraine’s western friends. Because after the intensification of the war Russia’s relations with the western countries have deteriorated further.

2014 culmination of ongoing tension Last Year On February, President Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine with full preparation . Putin’s argument behind this was that the Ukrainian government 2022 has been massacring Russian-speaking citizens of the eastern Donbass region since then. In the same year, Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula. After that, Moscow-backed separatists tried to separate it from Kiev by taking control of Donbass and announcing the establishment of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR). , Year 2014 in clashes between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed rebels here , People have been killed. On the other hand, the Russian President has also cited the US-led NATO transatlantic military alliance as one of the reasons for his invasion of Ukraine. Putin has said that Russia is determined to stop NATO’s eastward expansion and gain military bases that was part of the Soviet Union before its breakup. But Ukraine and its western allies have rejected all the arguments of Russia. They believe that this war is unnecessary and the aim of Russia is to grab the land of Ukraine and subjugate it. NATO has not come forward to make Ukraine a member, rather it is purely a defensive alliance.

of the United Nations 07 February, According to a report by Since till now at least 7,89 Civilians have been killed. However, the actual number is likely to be higher. Thousands of soldiers from both sides have also been killed in the war. But no side has yet provided the actual figure of the people killed in the war.

Due to the war, at present millions of people of the world are facing severe food and energy crisis. Ukraine and Russia, traditionally global exporters of food, have been at war with the two having severely disrupted global supply-chains. Russia is a big exporter of energy – oil and gas – and being angry with the sanctions imposed by western countries, it has reduced the supply of oil and gas to these countries, due to which inflation has increased a lot. The disruption caused by the war in the supply-chain which resumed after Corona and the increase in energy cost has put a big burden on the common man’s pocket.

After the attack on Ukraine by Russia, an estimated two lakh soldiers turned to the northern, eastern and southern areas of Ukraine and took control of large parts of these areas. He then launched attacks to take control of the outskirts of Kiev. Despite this, they failed to capture Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

At the end of March, the counterattack of the Ukrainian troops pushed back the Russian troops in the north and south and succeeded in regaining control of some of their territories. The Kiev suburb of Bucha was also included in the territory recaptured by Ukrainian troops. If you believe in Ukraine, the Russian soldiers behaved very cruelly with the people here. Ukrainian soldiers put many pictures of Russian excesses in front of the world.

After the retreat, Russian troops once again gathered in the eastern region of Ukraine and Putin reiterated the Kremlin’s goal of liberating Donbass. Fighting between the two sides continued for months on the southern and eastern fronts.

At the end of September, Moscow single-handedly declared four partially occupied regions of Ukraine-Donsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia as its territory. This move of Russia was widely condemned at the global level.

After this, Ukrainian military forces armed with Western weapons counterattacked and took back Kherson in mid-November. Big blow for Russia Because Kherson is the southernmost city of Ukraine and it is the capital of Kherson Oblast. Kherson was the first regional capital to be captured by Russia after the war between the two countries.

Since then there has been a bloody conflict between the two countries over control of the Donbass, which is made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Ukraine is getting the cooperation of western countries With the increasing tension between Russia-Ukraine, Ukraine started getting cooperation from Japan, Australia and other countries along with western countries like America, Britain, European Union, which is continuing till now. All these countries are not only providing military assistance to Ukraine, but are also providing all possible humanitarian assistance. Many members of NATO are also included in these countries. Many of these countries have also welcomed refugees with an open heart. According to the Kiel Institute, since January 05 november, 2022 As far as Countries to Ukraine 48 billion euro aid has been received.

Ever since the start of the Russo-Ukraine war, there was pressure on India to oppose Russia along with Western countries and support Ukraine, but India chose to remain neutral. He appealed to both the countries to settle the matter peacefully and through agreement. He adopted the middle path and has avoided joining any camp. China has also chosen the middle path like India and has so far avoided standing completely in favor of any country.

There is a possibility of re-intensification of the war Ukrainian officials believe that on completion of one year of the war, Russia may start a new offensive. They are apprehensive that Moscow will try to capture Kiev once again by uniting the soldiers recruited in the army last year. At the same time, Ukraine is also preparing to attack again with war tanks and long-range missiles from western countries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his government’s goal is not just to counter the invasion, but to regain all Ukrainian territories annexed by Russia, including Crimea. That’s why Ukraine has American F- including demand for Western Fourth Generation Supersonic Fighter Jet Is. Looking at the intentions of both the parties, there is a possibility of war getting intensified once again.
