The conflict between russia and ukraine is without a doubt one of the most important global events of the past five years.
This war is still going on! And Russian President Vladimir Putin is always brought up while talking about this dispute.
Putin was formerly employed by the KGB, Russia's spy organisation.
On december 31, 1999, this former spy became Russia's first president. It has been over twenty-five years since then. Putin has not been overthrown by anyone. He has served as prime minister and president on several occasions. But in the end, he continues to be Russia's supreme power.Putin, who initially came to power as a champion of democracy, is now essentially a modern-day 'czar' of russia, according to experts.
Many foreign commentators contend that if Putin had not been in office, the current conflict between russia and ukraine would not have begun. russia and ukraine have long been at odds. Although ukraine is supported by NATO and the european union, russia has long viewed ukraine as an enemy.
In the meantime, russia, China, Syria, and north korea are fortifying their connections with the united states, the european union, and Israel. According to others, russia invaded ukraine in order to limit the power of the united states and its allies. The conflict started on february 24, 2022, as a result of this aggression.But according to some analysts, Putin might have made a mistake. He may not have foreseen the tenacity of the Ukrainian people and military.
The war has had a devastating effect on the world economy and resulted in a huge loss of lives and property. Western countries have always seen this conflict as an act of aggression by russia, or more precisely, by Putin. russia has been subject to a number of sanctions. india has also come under fire for importing oil from Russia.
The majority of the globe blames Putin for this state of affairs. But he isn't deterred. During this period, he has improved ties with Russia's allies. In addition, he has made major adjustments to Russia's nuclear strategy. According to allegations, Putin's new strategy opens the door for nuclear strikes on any nation under a variety of pretexts. But the Kremlin disputes this.
Another name that has gained attention in this situation is Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine. Zelensky, a former dancer, is now in charge of Ukraine's military in the conflict with Russia.
Zelensky has garnered international acclaim for ukraine, which Putin had believed he could easily conquer, and whose president has been praised as a "real-life hero."
