The Russo-Ukrainian War lasted not yet, when Russia officially announced special military operations in the Donbass region on February 24. The Russo-Ukrainian war has been a hot topic in recent days! Why is Russia and Ukraine at war? The reason is that I summarize the following points, due to the limited level, the views in the text may be somewhat wrong!
1. For the security of the country and its citizens
NATO has continued to expand eastward for 30 years, and its strategic ambitions are well known! Ukraine and Russia border each other, and if Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, it is tantamount to putting a gun on Russia's doorstep. Poses a serious threat directly to Russia and the Russian people! Ukraine's accession to NATO touched Russia's own security bottom line, and it was unsuccessful in diplomacy! Military means are inevitable.
2 Benefits
War is always the result of conflicts of interest! This time is no exception! Nord Stream 2 is a key point in the conflict of interest between Russia and the United States. All along, about 30% of Europe's natural gas has been supplied by Russia!
When gas from Russia passed through Ukraine in the past, it brought great benefits to Ukraine. The construction of Nord Stream 2 did not pass through Ukraine. Ukraine is certainly not happy! There is also the United States, if the construction and operation of Nord Stream 2 is successful, it will have a huge negative impact on the energy exports of the United States!
3 Effects
Since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, many Western countries led by the United States have imposed all-round sanctions on Russia! Russia is an energy power, dominated by crude oil, natural gas and wheat, as well as metals!
After the imposition of sanctions by Western countries, Russia's energy exports decreased, causing its prices to rise. The ability of Western countries to freeze Russian assets on its territory and prohibit the use of its currency for trading! But the United States, on the contrary, has received substantially higher economic gains. For example, restricting Russian energy exports and increasing U.S. energy revenues!
All right! That's all I'm talking about! Do you have anything else to add? Comment area message Oh ~
