Abstract
After a long military buildup, Russian recognition of the unilaterally declared Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic, and entry of the Russian Armed Forces into the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine on February 21, 2022, the Russian forces launched a military campaign against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Kyiv and other cities around Ukraine were bombed on February 24 after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military action to “disarm and de-Nazify Ukraine” in a speech. The purpose of this research is to shed light on why Russia and Ukraine are at odds and how NATO has played a part in fueling this old war. Since Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, this study gives some context for understanding both Russia and Ukraine. In order to better comprehend the nature of the conflict, this study employs a descriptive analytical approach based on narrative and connections between data points.
