In the early months of 2014, the world watched in shock as violent conflict erupted in Ukraine, leading to one of the most significant geopolitical crises of our time. As tensions escalates, many speculated on the true reasons behind the war in Ukraine, with most attributing it to long-standing political and ethnic divisions.
