Why Putin did not budge even after harsh sanctions???
Sanctions and threats in the Russia-Ukraine conflict also seem to be ineffective. In the current situation, it is clear that Putin wants Russia's occupation of eastern Ukraine.
The conflict between russia and ukraine continues and Putin appears to be in no mood to back down at the moment. For russia, the part of eastern ukraine is important and Putin has been working on a strategy to occupy it since 2014. In 2019, ukraine did the work of adding fuel to the fire by amending its constitution. After Russia's attack, many western countries including America, germany, france have imposed strict sanctions on russia, but Putin, who is oblivious to these, is firm on his stand.
Putin did not budge even after harsh sanctions
In support of ukraine, many countries including America, Britain, japan have imposed harsh sanctions. These sanctions have also failed to put pressure on Moscow. germany has announced a ban on Russia's gas pipeline Nord Stream-2 itself. Even after all this, Putin is standing on his stand. russia has even given recognition to two regions of ukraine as an independent country and has made its stand clear. Vladimir Putin himself has accused ukraine of committing genocide of Russian-speaking people in a press conference.
Russia's strategic and economic links are linked to Ukraine
The US has invested heavily in ukraine in the last few years. ukraine borders russia and is a buffer zone for it. In such a situation, russia fears that due to America's heavy investment in ukraine, enemies will reach their limits. On the other hand, the region of Eastern ukraine is an area of economic prosperity. There are iron and coal mines. This area is important for Russia's economic and strategic interests. russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and indicated that its next target was Ukraine.
