Why did the conflict break out in Ukraine?

The main reason: The main reason for the conflict in Ukraine is the conflict between pro-European and pro-Russian factions in Ukraine, which is a political contest between western countries and Russia. The deeper reason is the irreconcilable ethnic contradiction between Ukrainians in Ukraine and Russians in the east.

International reasons

There are too many shady situations in the Russian regime. If Ukraine joins the western countries, it will certainly be transformed in a democratic way, which will inevitably threaten the survival of the Russian regime. The Ukrainian people will gradually become rich and powerful in the process of democracy, people living at the bottom of Russia will be attracted by democracy, and contradictions within Russia will intensify or erupt. At the same time, western countries will definitely deploy military systems in Ukraine to accelerate the infiltration of Russian democracy as a military deterrent.

Russia has always wanted to restore the superpower status of the former Soviet Union and have a stronger influence in the international arena. If it does not advance, it will retreat, or it will develop strongly or be destroyed by democracy. At present, Russia has no other way out. At present, its domestic industry is backward, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, so advanced things (such as computers and systems) cannot be produced. It makes some money by selling natural gas, and most of the money is implicitly transferred to him by Putin.

In this environment, Russia can't let Ukraine join western forces in any case, so it constantly supports Ukrainian pro-Russian forces to counter those forces close to western countries.

Domestic reasons

Ukraine is located in the eastern part of Europe and is the largest country in Europe except Russia. Ukraine was once a member of the Soviet Union. 199 1 After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became independent. About one-third of the people in Ukraine speak Russian, and the other two-thirds speak Ukrainian. Russian-speaking Ukrainians have been under the control of Russia since the middle of17th century, and they want to return to the embrace of Russia, while Ukrainian-speaking people have been living under the influence of Europe since16th century.

At present, pro-Russian people in Ukraine are mainly Russians living in eastern Ukraine. These people are descendants of Russian colonists. When Russia and the Soviet Union colonized Ukraine, they moved to Ukraine on a large scale in an organized way in order to change the population structure and ethnic composition of Ukraine. During Moscow's rule of Ukraine, they enjoyed many privileges. Until Ukraine became independent, they used Russian instead of Ukrainian and regarded Russia as their motherland. Their ultimate goal is to reintegrate Ukraine into Russian territory and turn Ukraine into a Russian colony. They are not real Ukrainians at all.

However, for the first time in history, the Russian nation and most Russians today have the opportunity to insult and expand to neighboring countries. They regard Ukraine not only as a sphere of influence that they must control, but also as a part of the territory they lost in history, and never forget their ambition to bring Ukraine back under their control or even into the Russian territory.

If the descendants of these Russian colonialists in eastern Ukraine and their agents come to power, Ukraine will become Russia's puppet protectorate even if it is not annexed by Russia again, and Ukraine's national independence and national autonomy will come to nothing, not to mention how much material and economic benefits will be brought to Ukrainians by being controlled by Russians or being merged into Russia as a colony in Moscow because of Russian cruelty. Even if it is possible, Ukrainians will not give up their freedom and dignity for a little dog food. Therefore, the essence of frequent unrest in Ukraine is to strive for national independence, national autonomy and oppose Russian expansion, which is related to the life and death of Ukraine as a country and nation.
