A brief history of modern Ukraine – BBC News
When the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s Ukraine was one of the largest new nations to emerge. It held its first elections in 1991.
Bordered by Russia on the east and by Hungary, Poland and Slovakia on the west, politics in Ukraine have always been divided along those looking east towards Russia and those looking to the West.
Putin has said that Ukraine is “ancient Russian soil” but the majority of Ukrainians don’t feel this way, with 68% of Ukrainians in favour of joining the EU.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Russians want to be with Russia. Poland, Russia, Ukraine are and will be at war. The USA would not allow Canada or Mexico take land,why would Russia.

Back in 2011 a corrupt Ukrainian government allowed Russia to take over Crimea and move into the Donbass. That leader refused to join NATO and the States weren't letting them in anyway , didn't want to start WW3. So , there was no approachment on the Russians at that time Zelensky wasn't even elected until 2019. Putin wants the sea and access to it , that's where we're at.

If Putin sees Russians and Ukrainians as "one" people – then why is he killing them? And causing the death of so many Russians? I thought he invaded Ukraine to free it from Nazi's. And it was the Nazi's he would be killing. By the way, how many Nazi's have been killed or captured by Russia? The bottom line: The Soviet Union lost the cold war and collapsed. Proof communism is a failed governmental system. Get over it, and maybe do what's right by your country Putin. Oh wait, too late for that.

It’s long rumored that the present Ukraine is rife with ultra nationalist andNazi. It wasn’t long ago that these elements spread havoc from Germany and devised Europe.

A brief history of the beginning of modern Ukraine: Drunk Yeltsin met with Kravchuk 1991 and they dissolved USSR and Ukraine was created for the first time. Yeltsin was so drunk that he forgot to tell Kravchuk that Crimea will stay with Russia.

WTF, Zelensky was elected based on this campaign to make peace with Donbass and Lughan. He was the one who led Ukraine into this mess by talking about NATO and Nuclear installation.

Interestingly, if they are supposed to become EU member why we fled from EU? Things are not just black and white, in my opinion, they were supposed to stay independent, and to profit out of it, they had much cheaper gas prices then the rest of the EU, but just as our politicians, theirs are not working for the country but for themselves, using their positions to gain personal benefits and to secure the future for the few upcoming generations, all politicians today are alike, no statesmen, just miserable political clique
