All in all, tensions in Europe have now escalated around Ukraine. In this situation some common questions are revolving. Where did Russia suddenly get so much power that it dared to raise its arms in front of the most powerful countries in the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom?
Why did Russia suddenly need to gather so many troops near the Ukrainian border? Is it the result of recent events, or is there a historical background to it? What does Putin really want? He is now complete after snatching Crimea from Ukraine Do you want to swallow up Ukraine, or do you want to use these fears to get your demands from the West? If Russian forces actually invade Ukraine, will NATO be able to handle the situation? People are looking for answers to such questions. Let's find some answers.
What is the crisis really about
We need to go to the beginning before we can understand the cause of the problem. Russia's occupation of Crimea in 2014 was the "beginning" of the Ukraine crisis. The occupation of Crimea also has an early history. That history also needs to be looked at.
The relevance of Rabindranath's statement on the Ukraine issue can only be understood by looking back a little.

The relevance of Rabindranath's statement on the Ukraine issue can only be understood by looking back a little.
When the Soviet Union really disintegrated and Moscow lost control of Crimea, Moscow began to try to "retain its rights" and its "embarrassment" with Ukraine began.
After Ukraine became an independent country after leaving the Soviet Union, two types of camps were formed among the peoples within them. Ukraine is an adjacent area of Russia, home to many ethnic Russians. Those Russian citizens have always wanted to be close to Russia.
The rest, on the other hand, wanted to be closer to the West, including Europe. Westerners are calling for Ukraine to join the European Union. At the same time they should join NATO. Russia's objection to Ukraine's bid to join NATO, and that's when the controversy began.
In 2014, then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych sought a major trade deal with the European Union. Most of the people in Ukraine were happy. Because, if these agreements, the country will get more economic prosperity.
Although the Ukrainians were happy, Yanukovych's move upset Putin. Because once that agreement is reached, it will be easier for Ukraine to become a member of the European Union. And if Ukraine becomes a member of the EU, it will one day become a member of NATO, Russia's arch-enemy.
It was with this in mind that Putin pressured Yanukovych to withdraw from negotiations with the EU. Why did Yanukovych squander such a huge economic potential? Yanukovic fell when protesters in Ukraine questioned him, and he fled the country.
Putin then provoked anti-government protests in Ukraine in areas inhabited by ethnic Russians. Rebels erupted against the Ukrainian government. The troops that Putin sent to support the rebels seized Crimea from Ukraine, and Putin declared Crimea to be Russia's own territory.
Then the real ‘embarrassment’ of ‘giving up rights and going to retain rights’ begins.
NATO is gradually increasing its military presence in the region to prevent Russian domination. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Albania joined NATO one after another.
These countries were once part of the Soviet Union or a member of the Warsaw Pact. Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine want to join them. But there are strongholds of pro-Russian armed militias and Russia is providing them with all kinds of assistance. Because of those militias, they are not able to join NATO.
