Russian-Ukrainian War:
The conflict began in 2014, erstwhile the battles in Donbasa began. Then, Russia attacked on a full scale, starting an invasion of Ukraine from 3 directions – east, south and north. Additionally, from Crimea, which was occupied in 2014.
On 24 February 2022, Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a "special military operation". respective hours earlier, Antony Blinken said publically that he was expecting Russia to attack Ukraine, which took place that same night. According to data, over 8 million Ukrainians had to leave their homes and over 6 million were internally displaced.
At the same time, it is estimated that more than 100,000 Ukrainian and Russian soldiers were killed and more than 20,000 civilians were killed. In addition, more than 10 million people are affected by conflict, of which more than 5 million request immediate humanitarian assistance.
International support:
In consequence to Russian aggression, the global community provided considerable support to Ukraine. The European Union, the United States and another countries have provided financial, military and humanitarian assistance. In addition, most countries around the planet have condemned the Russian invasion, and many have introduced economical sanctions against Russia.
Accordingly, Ukraine received over $30 billion in financial assistance, as well as more than 10 million tonnes of humanitarian aid. In addition, the European Union has provided more than EUR 10 billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.
It is worth noting that this conflict has a crucial impact on the full world. Inflation, energy crisis and economical imbalances are only any of the consequences of war. It is so crucial that the global community continues to supply support Ukraine and another countries that request help.
Moreover, according to data, over 70% of Ukrainians believe that their country will be able to recover all the territory presently occupied by Russia. Among them, more than 50% are ready to participate in battles to regain their territory.
It is so essential that all, including the government, citizens and global organisations, cooperate to support Ukraine and contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict. Only in this way will we be able to guarantee that this conflict is resolved peacefully and fairly.
Of course, peace building and conflict resolution are complex and time-consuming processes. It requires effort and commitment from all. It is so crucial to supply support and aid those who request it, regardless of time or difficulties.
