Since 2014, the crisis in Ukraine has been ongoing. It’s a conflict that has seen Russia annex Crimea and back separatists in Eastern Ukraine. But why does Russia want to invade Ukraine? There are a few key reasons that have led to this conflict, and some of them might surprise you.
How did the crisis start?
It all started when pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted from power in February 2014 after widespread protests. He was forced out of office by his former political allies after deciding not to sign an association agreement with the European Union. This agreement would have strengthened ties between the EU and Ukraine, and many Ukrainians were eager for it to be signed. Instead, Yanukovych decided to pursue closer ties with Russia instead.
