The struggle for Ukraine

To comprehend the present condition, we have to go back to the 1980s and Gorbachev.

The tension between Russians and Americans over Ukraine is rising. The sabre-rattling between the two countries continues, and the world watches this drama with awe and anxiety, hoping that diplomacy will help defuse the problem. The Russians have already massed over 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border, and it is expected to swell further in the future. They claim that it is part of a military exercise within their own territory, but the general perception is that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is imminent within the next two months. In the meantime, the United States has warned that the West will impose serious sanctions against the Russians if an invasion of Ukraine takes place.
