The Conflict in
Ukraine
Mark Kachai
About my topic
My research topic is about the conflict that Ukraine is facing. More
specifically, I will be writing about the events that led up to the illegal Russian
occupation of certain parts of Ukraine which will lead me into why Ukraine and
Ukrainians should associate themselves more with Europe. My goal is to learn
more about why it’s so hard for Ukraine to become more associated with Europe.
With that said, I will be investigating the reasons why Russia doesn’t want Ukraine
to become a member of the EU and the hardships that Ukraine has went
through, and is still going through, to maintain its freedom and preserve its
nationality.
History
Ukraine has always faced problems with its status as an independent
country. It’s problems are deep-rooted in the country’s extensive history. Looking
at the past few decades though, Ukraine had gained its independence from the
Soviet Union on August 24, 1991 and four months later on December 25, 1991,
the Soviet Union fell, breaking off into fifteen separate countries (Ukraine being
one of them).
Although no longer affiliated with Russia, in 2013, Russia swayed the
Ukrainian President’s decision to not join the European Union. This decision was
followed by massive peaceful protests that turned violent when the Ukrainian riot
police began attacking protesters to get them off the streets. These few months
were known as the “Euromaidan”. After that, Russia took a series of actions that
afflicted Ukraine even more.
Individuals involved in my topic
1. Luke Coffey
a. Oversees research on many nations; author of many detailed articles about the conflict in
Ukraine.
2. Adrian Bonenberger
a. Journalist that wrote about the war in Ukraine.
3. Viktor Yushchenko
a. Former president of Ukraine, face of the Orange Revolution in the early 2000’s; Pro-
Ukrainian.
Questions I have about the Ukraine becoming more oriented with Europe
1. How long will it take before Ukraine can try to become a member of the
European Union again?
2. Will Russia back off of Ukraine even if they became part of the EU/NATO?
3. Why don’t most other European countries show public support for Ukraine,
given that some of them used to be part of the Soviet Union and have dealt
with Russia before?
4. Will fighting in eastern-Ukraine come to an end if Ukraine becomes a
member of the European Union?
A viewpoint about Ukraine’s situation I disagree with
The author of the article states that Ukraine shouldn’t try to push to be a part
of NATO and other European outlets. He states that it would be more harmful
than beneficial for Ukraine to become closer to Europe. I plan to refute the point
that this author is trying to make, since I am basically writing about the opposite
view he has, why Ukraine needs to push for more European integration. I plan on
taking into consideration the points he makes, but ultimately, I want to show that
my viewpoint is more sensical.
