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. However, what many don’t realize is that there are deeper, more complex factors at play that have fueled this conflict.

Ukraine has long been caught in the middle of the tug-of-war between these two superpowers, with each vying for control over the country’s strategic resources and geopolitical significance. Russia, in particular, sees Ukraine as a crucial buffer zone against NATO expansion, and has sought to maintain its influence in the region by supporting separatist movements in Eastern Ukraine.
